The software will keep the NT signature of the target disk if it is the same NT signature as the one
stored in the backup. (In other words, if you recover the disk to the same disk that was backed
up.) Otherwise, the software will generate a new NT signature for the target disk.
new
The software will generate a new NT signature for the target disk.
backup
The software will replace the NT signature of the target disk with the one from the backup.
existing
The software will leave the NT signature of the target disk untouched.
3.5.3 volume
Commands: backup disk and backup vm
--volume=<volume numbers>
The parameter is used with the backup disk (p. 19) and backup vm (p. 28) commands to specify
volumes to be backed up.
Volume numbers are specified as <disk number>-<volume number>. For example:
--volume=1-1,1-2
Dynamic volumes (in Windows) or logical volumes (in Linux) are specified with the DYN prefix or by
their GUIDs. For example:
--volume=DYN1
--volume=e6ee6edc-d1ba-11d8-813e-806e6f6e6963
To back up all dynamic volumes or all logical volumes, specify:
--volume=DYN
Both basic and dynamic volumes can be specified by their letters. For example:
--volume=C
Mixed notation is also acceptable. For example:
--volume=1-1,E,e6ee6edc-d1ba-11d8-813e-806e6f6e6963
To view disk and volume numbers, volume letters and GUIDs, use the list disks (p. 18) command.
To display the full length of GUIDs, add the --output=raw parameter.
You can use the --disk (p. 83) and --volume parameters in one command. For example:
--disk=1 --volume=E
If neither the --disk parameter nor the --volume parameter is specified, the software will back up
all of the machine's disks.
Commands: recover disk, recover vm, mount
--volume=<volume number>
