Restoring Drives From an Image File
When all else fails, you can restore the critical information on one or more
drives from an image file. Restoring an image file does NOT recover deleted
files. If you have deleted data files that you need, you can restore a copy of
them from your last backup set (protected volume file or directory) created
with Safe & Sound.
 WARNING: Do not restore an image, except as a last resort. The Image
file does not contain your data files, those are located in your Safe &
Sound backup set.
NOTE: For step-by-step instructions and more information on how to
use McAfeeImage, refer to theMcAfee Student SurvivalKit online Help
