Volume destination
To specify a destination volume:
1.
Select a volume or unallocated space where you want the selected volume to be recovered to.
The destination volume/unallocated space should be at least the same size as the uncompressed
image data.

All the data stored on the target volume will be replaced by the backed up data, so be careful and watch out for
non-backed-up data that you might need.
When using bootable media
Disk letters seen under Windows-style bootable media might differ from the way Windows identifies
drives. For example, the D: drive in the rescue utility might correspond to the E: drive in Windows.
Be careful! To be on the safe side, it is advisable to assign unique names to the volumes.
The Linux-style bootable media shows local disks and volumes as unmounted (sda1, sda2...).
Volume properties
Resizing and relocating
When recovering a volume to a basic MBR disk, you can resize and relocate the volume by dragging it
or its borders with a mouse or by entering corresponding values in the appropriate fields. Using this
feature, you can redistribute the disk space between the volumes being recovered. In this case, you
will have to recover the volume to be reduced first.
Tip: A volume cannot be resized when being recovered from a backup split into multiple removable media. To be
able to resize the volume, copy all parts of the backup to a single location on a hard disk.
Properties
Type
A basic MBR disk can contain up to four primary volumes or up to three primary volumes and
multiple logical drives. By default, the program selects the original volume's type. You can change
this setting, if required.
Primary
. Information about primary volumes is contained in the MBR partition table. Most
operating systems can boot only from the primary volume of the first hard disk, but the number
of primary volumes is limited.
If you are going to recover a system volume to a basic MBR disk, select the Active check box.
Active volume is used for loading an operating system. Choosing active for a volume without an
installed operating system could prevent the machine from booting. You cannot set a logical
drive or dynamic volume active.
Logical
. Information about logical volumes is located not in the MBR, but in the extended
partition table. The number of logical volumes on a disk is unlimited. A logical volume cannot be
