Snapshot Mount

Mount any snapshot as a drive. Browse old files in Explorer without restoring a thing.

Don't want to restore file-by-file? Mount an entire snapshot as a drive and browse it in Explorer/Finder like a regular folder. Copy out exactly what you need.

WebDAV Mount (Windows)

On Windows, snapshots are mapped as a network drive via WebDAV. Browse directly in Explorer.

1

Select a backup source and snapshot

2

Click "Mount" — Ginkgo starts a local WebDAV server

3

Open the mount URL in Explorer, browse like a normal drive

Mount URL: http://127.0.0.1:<dynamic-port>/webdav/ (the port is auto-allocated by the system and visible on the mount panel; WebDAV sessions auto-expire after 30 minutes; you can remount)

FUSE Mount (Linux / macOS)

On Linux and macOS, snapshots are mounted via FUSE as a local directory. Use any file manager or terminal.

💡 Requires FUSE support. Linux/macOS builds use CGO_ENABLED=0 to include FUSE mount capability.

API-Triggered Mount

Mount and unmount snapshots programmatically via the HTTP API. Useful for automation scripts.
