Preparation (or fix for 'Cannot create FUSE mount point' error)
On a Linux File System, because the Axigen process runs under a non-root user (axigen), there are two prerequisites that have to be executed only once by the system administrator:
- Create a directory/folder that the axigen user owns
- configure FUSE (in /etc/fuse.conf) to allow non-root users to specify the allow_other or allow_root mount options.
For the first step, the following two commands have to be executed as root in the OS console:
- mkdir -p /mnt/axigen
- chown axigen:axigen /mnt/axigen
You can choose to select another folder than the one suggested above (/mnt/axigen).
For the second step, you need to edit the /etc/fuse.conf file and uncomment the user_allow_other setting.
In case your Linux system does not have the fuse components installed, follow the following detailed steps:
File System Access
"File System Access" allows back-up and restore processes through file system mounts.

FUSE mount point
In the "Mount Object" quick add interface the following elements appear:
- the mount point option;
- the mount scope option.
The mount scope type drop-down contains the options:
- Domain (default): select this option to mount the entire domain
- Object: select this option to mount only an account by specifying the email address
- Public Folder: select this option to mount a public folder by specifying the public folder's path and the domain containing the public folder
- Folder: select this option to mount an account's folder by specifying the email address of the account and the folder's path
