6.3.10 Setting restore options
Select the options for the restoration process (that is, pre/post restoration commands,
restoration process priority etc.). You may Use default options or Set the options
manually. If the latter is the case, the settings will be applied only to the current restore
task. Alternatively, you can edit the default options from the current screen. Then your
settings will be saved as default. See
6.5 Setting restore options
for more information.
6.3.11 Restoration summary and executing restoration
1. At the final step, the restoration summary is displayed. Up to this point, you can click
Back to make changes in the created task. If you click Cancel, no changes will be made
to disk(s). Clicking Proceed will launch the task execution.
2. The task progress will be shown in a special window.
You can stop the procedure by clicking Cancel. However, it is critical to note that the
target partition will be deleted and its space unallocated – the same result you will get if
the restoration is unsuccessful. To recover the “lost” partition, you will have to restore it
from the image again.
If you restore a system disk (partition), you might have to reactivate your boot manager.
Please consult your boot loader manual pages to find out the appropriate information.
In case the system disk (partition) is restored to identical hardware, the following steps
would usually help:
Boot the computer from the Linux installation CD
Enter rescue mode
Issue the following commands:
#mkdir /mnt/tmp
#mount /dev/hdXY /mnt/tmp (/dev/hdXY is the device, corresponding to root partition)
#chroot /mnt/tmp
If /boot is a separate partition, mount it with
#mount /dev/hdXZ /boot (/dev/hdXZ is the device, corresponding to boot partition)
Issue a command according to your loader type:
LILO:
