Running Veeam agent for Linux, v. 6.3.2.1207_x86_64. OS is Mint MATE 22.  Been making weekly backups for a year or more, just now trying a test recovery on spare computer- loaded some files, ran b/u to ext. drive, deleted files.  Have Recovery Media on stick, using steps in user guide.  All good thru several menus until “Mount Local Disc” which brings up a menu “Select Local Disc” but there are no items from which to select.  Backup drive lights up, so recognized by system.  What am I missing?

The only reason I’ve had that (tho it’s been with Windows) was due to lack of a driver.

Have you tried creating a custom recovery media?

Thanks both for your responses.  Skating near the edge of my computer skills with this effort- will get back to it as time permits next week.  Also possible that I used the wrong file for the recovery stick.
