How to use the backup created through the Timeweb hosting VDS panel?

Question

ubuntu

Hello, There was a need to use a backup copy of the VDS server from the Timeweb
provider, since I don’t really specialize in administering unix systems, there was a problem when mounting the disk, correct me if I’m wrong somewhere:
and the snapshot of the system will be ready
2. Further in the panel there are two options for using it: mounting or restoring
3 When restoring, the system boots from the snapshot itself and we have access to the state of the system in which the snapshot was made
4. When mounting, we have the ability to mount the file system in read-only mode to the system
5 We select the mount, since we need to get a backup of some files, so to speak
6 We mounted the snapshot in the panel
7 Now we need to mount the image on the server itself
9 The fdisk -l command displays 2 disks, the main one and the one that we mounted in the panel
10 Further, according to the instructions, the mount command /dev/xvdb1 /mnt/backup/10-nov-2012 we mount xvdb1 to the conditional directory /mnt/backup/10-nov -
2012
, bad superblock on /dev/xvdb1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
"
I would be grateful if you correct the points if the logic of thinking is not correct, and comment on point 11
Thank you in advance

fdisk look at what is on this disk for a file and in general what is on this disk
