To launch this dialog press the 'Ctrl + Alt + S' together in the last page of the restore Wizard.
This dialog will prompt for options to automatically restore the selected image file at a later time using the Windows PE rescue media. When 'OK' is clicked a restore definition xml file will be saved.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Password: | Enter a password to protect against accidental or unauthorised running of the restore. |
| Source Image File: | Restore this image file: This is the default and the image file selected will be used as the restore source. Restore the latest matching image in the same folder: The image folder is searched for all image files that contain the partitions being restored. The latest backup date is chosen for the restore source. |
| Target Disk Selection: | Match target disk on unique identifier: This is the default and the unique disk id is used to ensure that the correct disk is restore to. Match target disk on disk number if unique id is not found. This option will not fail the restiore if the target disk has a different unique id. Instead the disk with th esame disk number will be chosen. Use with caution as Windows PE can enumerate disks in a different sequence and cause the wrong disk to be restored to. This won't be an issue if your sytem has only one local disk. |
| Restore xml file location | Choose drive: Select from a list of local drives to save the 'restore definition file. The file will be saved in the root folder and be named 'macrium_restore.xml' Choose a file name and location: If selected, a file 'save As' dialog will be shown when the 'OK' button is clicked. This enables saving the restore definition file to any file name and any folder. Set the restore xml file as 'Read Only': At the end of an auto restore the restore definition is automatically deleted. Setting the definition as 'Read Only' prevents deletion and enables re-running of the same restore each time Windows PE starts. |
