Restore
| Info |
|---|
| NoteNotes: Restored Partitions are placed at the same sector offset and length on the target Disk. There are no options available to move or resize partitions. For this initial implementation, the target disk cannot be smaller than the source disk. |
Like the Backup command, mixing drive letters and disk numbers in a single operation is not allowed. To see the drive letters or disk numbers contained within an image, please run 'mrauto.exe -l <full image path>'
By default, without specifying target disk, the Restore operation will try to locate the source disk in the system by matching disk signature. The operation will fail when the source disk is not found, as will be the case when the image of a disk from different computer is used to Restore to another computer. The optional 'target disk' paramer can parameter can be used here to specify any Disk on the target PC large enough to accommodate the restored partitions.
...
The ? (Question mark) character following the file name indicates the Disk, or Disk and Partiton partition combination list to be restored. If omitted, then all partitions in the image are restored.
...
| Info |
|---|
| A backup Image may contain partitions from more than one Disk. In this case, as the Restore option only supports restoring of partitions from a single Disk, it's required to specify the Disk number when restoring. This can be achieved by by specifying drive letters or Disk and Partition number after the question mark symbol in the image file name. Example: |

'MrAuto.exe --status' command displays completion status of last Restore job which was completed by booting into Rescue media. Exit status code also be set in %ERRORLEVEL% to help automation processes. |
