restorel Examples
a partition :p partition A mapping between a partition in the image archive (a partition ) and a target
physical partition on the local machine (p partition ). Use this parameter to
selectively restore a specific part of the image to a specific local partition.
IMPORTANT: If you use this parameter, none of the existing local partitions are
removed, and only the target local partition is updated. The update process does
not remove any existing files; however, any existing files of the same names are
overwritten. If you want to remove all existing files from the target partition before
updating it, first use the
Partition Mode (img part) to delete and recreate the
partition.
For a partition , use the partition number displayed for the source partition in the
Image Explorer (imgexp.exe) utility. For p partition , use the partition number
displayed by img dump for the target partition. The target partition must be a
partition of a supported file system. You can repeat this parameter as needed to
request multiple selective restorations in a single operation. In doing so, you can
apply multiple parts of the image to a single local partition, but you can’t apply the
same part of an image to multiple local partitions in a single operation.
Example Explanation
img restorel8 /imgs/dellnt.zmg Removes all existing local partitions except the one in slot
8, retrieves the image from
imgs/dellnt.zmg
in slot 8,
and puts down the partitions and contents of that image on
the available local writable devices (assuming there is
sufficient local space and that slot 8 contains a primary
partition).
img restorel /imgs/dellnt.zmg Removes all existing local partitions, retrieves the image
from
imgs/dellnt.zmg
in the ZENworks partition, and
puts down the partitions and contents of that image on the
available local writable devices (assuming there is
sufficient space).
img restorel /imgs/dellnt.zmg s2
Removes all existing local partitions, retrieves the image
from
imgs/dellnt.zmg in the ZENworks partition, and
puts down the partitions and contents of file set 2 of that
image on the available local writable devices (assuming
there is sufficient space).
img restorel /imgs/dellnt.zmg
a2:p1 a3:p1 Retrieves the image from imgs/dellnt.zmg in the
ZENworks partition, updates local partition 1 with the data
from partitions 2 and 3 of that image, and leaves the other
local partitions unchanged (assuming there is sufficient
space in local partition 1).
