3.7.22 target_volume
--target_volume=<volume number>
Volume where you will recover data which has been selected in the --volume (p. 84) parameter.
The parameter is used with the recover disk (p. 20) and recover vm (p. 29) commands.
With the recover disk (p. 20) command, you can specify several volumes. The number of volumes
specified in the --target_volume parameter must be the same as the number of volumes
specified in the --volume parameter.
If you need to recover a volume to the unallocated space of a basic disk, use one of the following
methods:
 Type --target_volume=UNALLOCATED-<disk number>-<unallocated space sequence
number> to specify unallocated space on a specific disk.
 Specify the --target_disk (p. 106) parameter instead of the --target_volume parameter.
In this case, the software will try to recover the volume to the first unallocated space of a
suitable size on the specified disk.
 Specify the --target_disk (p. 106) and --start (p. 86) parameters instead of the
--target_volume parameter. In this case, the software will recover the volume to the
unallocated space on the specified disk starting from the specified start position.
Examples
--target_volume=C – to recover to a basic volume
--target_volume=DYN1 – to recover to a dynamic volume (Windows) or to a logical volume
(Linux)
--target_volume=UNALLOCATED-1-1 – to recover to the first unallocated space of the first basic
disk
--target_volume=UNALLOCATED-DYN – to recover to the unallocated space of the disk group (for
Windows only)
3.7.23 type
--type={active|primary|logical}
Sets the recovered volume as active, primary or logical. However, this may not be possible (for
example, because there cannot be more than four primary volumes on a disk). Setting a volume
active sets it as primary. On the other hand, a volume set primary may remain inactive.
If the type is not specified, the software will try to keep the target volume type. If the target volume
is active, the recovered volume is set active. If the target volume is primary and there are other
primary volumes on the disk, one of them will be set active while the recovered volume becomes
primary. If no other primary volumes remain on the disk, the recovered volume is set active.
When recovering a volume on unallocated space, the software extracts the volume type from the
backup. For the primary volume, the type will be set as follows:
 if the target disk is the 1st according to BIOS and it has no other primary volumes, the recovered
volume will be set active
 if the target disk is the 1st according to BIOS and there are other primary volumes on it, the
recovered volume will be set logical
 if the target disk is not the 1st, the recovered volume will be set logical.
