Restoring Files And Drives

2. If the backup has been saved to hard drive, network drive, or removable medium, ensure

that your computer has access to the respective drive.

3. If the backup has been saved as an image file, load the image file, e.g. with Nero Im-

ageDrive.

7. Click the Start Restore button.

 The Restore Wizard window, with the Restore Settings screen, opens.

8. In the Select Target Location drop-down menu, select where the backup is to be restored:

1. If you have selected an entire hard drive (with partitions) to restore, select a hard drive as

the target location (e.g. Disc 1).

2. If you have selected a partition to restore, select a partition as the target location (e.g. Da-

ta (D)).

 If you have selected a complete hard drive (e.g. Disc 1) as the target location, the Re-

stored partition size area will be available.

9. In the Restored partition size area, specify whether the restore should be fitted to the tar-

get or source size.

Should I fit to the target or to the source size?

Fit to target size: The size of the target partition remains intact. The storage

space not needed for the restore becomes empty space but remains part of the

partition.

Fit to source size: The size of the target partition is reduced to the size of the

backed up partition. Partition storage space that is not needed anymore is no

longer part of the partition. You can repartition this unused storage space as

needed.

10. If the hard drive or partition to be restored contains an operating system and you want the

operating system to be booted when the computer starts, enable the Restore MBR check

box in order to restore the MBR

11. Click the Next button.

 The Restore Wizard Completed screen appears. You can now start the restore.
