When restoring a partition on unallocated space, the program extracts the partition type from the
image. For the primary partition, the type will be set as follows:
if the target disk is the 1st according to BIOS and it has no other primary partitions, the restored
partition will be set active
if the target disk is the 1st according to BIOS and there are other primary partitions on it, the
restored partition will be set logical
if the target disk is not the 1st, the restored partition will be set logical.
preserve_mbr
When restoring a partition over an existing one, the target partition is deleted from the disk along
with its entry in the target disk MBR. Then, with the
preserve_mbr
option, the restored partition's
entry will occupy the upper empty position in the target disk MBR. Thus, the target disk MBR is
preserved. If not specified, the restored partition's entry will occupy the same position as in the
source disk MBR saved in the image. If the position is not empty, the existing entry will be moved to
another position.

filerestore
target_folder:[target folder]
Specifies a folder where folders/files will be restored (a target folder). If not specified, the original
path is re-created from the archive.
overwrite:[older | never | always]
This option allows you to keep useful data changes made since the backup being restored was done.
Choose what to do if the target folder contains a file with the same name as in the archive:
older
– this will give priority to the most recent file modification, whether it be in the archive or
on the disk.
never
– this will give the file on the hard disk unconditional priority over the archived file.
always
– this will give the archived file unconditional priority over the file on the hard disk.
If not specified, the files on the disk will always be replaced with the archived files.
restore_security:[on | off]
Specifies whether to restore files’ security attributes (default) or whether the files will inherit the
security settings of the folder where they will be restored.
original_date:[on | off]
Specifies whether to restore files’ original date and time from the archive or whether to assign the
current date and time to the restored files. If not specified, the current date is assigned.
include:[names]
Specifies the files and folders to restore from the file backup (comma separated).
For example:
