6.3.4 Selecting a disk/partition to restore
1. The selected archive file can contain images of several partitions or even disks. Select
which disk/partition to restore.
Disks and partitions images contain a copy of track 0 along with MBR (Master Boot Record).
It appears in this window in a separate line. You can choose whether to restore MBR and
track 0 by checking the respective box. Restore MBR if it is critical to your system boot.
2. Click Next.
6.3.5 Selecting a target disk/partition
1. Select a target disk or partition where you want to restore the selected image. You can
restore data to their initial location, to another disk/partition or to an unallocated space. The
target partition should be at least the same size as the uncompressed image data.
All the data stored on the restored partition will be replaced by the image data, so be careful
and watch for non-backed-up data that you might need.
2. Click Next.
3. When restoring an entire disk, the program will analyze the target disk structure to see if
the disk is free.
