12.6 Restoring a Drive Backup

Nero BackItUp ImageTool can be used to restore a drive backup. The hard drive is not active

during the restore since Nero BackItUp ImageTool is booted from CD/DVD. This provides

greater security as opposed to restoring with Nero BackItUp under Windows

. However, Ne-

ro Nero BackItUp ImageTool cannot be used to select individual files in the drive backup -

the drive is restored completely.

To restore a drive, proceed as follows:

1. Click the Restore button.

 The Restore Wizard window with the welcome screen opens.

2. Click the Next button.

 The Restore Settings screen appears.

3. Click the button.

 The File window opens.

4. Select a drive backup and click the OK button.

 The File window closes.

 The backed up hard drive with all partitions or the backed up partition of the hard drive is

displayed in the Restore Settings screen. Partitions that are not backed up are grayed

out.

5. Select the hard drive or partition that you want to restore.

For technical reasons, only one partition

can be restored in one restore proce-

dure.

6. Click the Next button.

 The Drive Restore Settings screen appears.

7. 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 to restore, select a hard drive as the target loca-

tion (e.g. Disc 1).

 The Restored partition size area is displayed.

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

ta (D)).

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

get or source size.
