recover disk

Recovers the specified disk or volume. You can recover only one disk or volume at a time.

A disk is always recovered along with its MBR. When you recover a volume, the MBR is not recovered. You can use the recover mbr command in this case.

Examples

Parameters

What to recover

--loc=<path>
--credentials=<user name>,<password>,encrypted
--arc=<archive name>
--password=<password>,encrypted
--backup=<backup ID>
--disk=<disk number>
--nt_signature={auto|new|backup|existing}
--volume=<volume number>
--oss_numbers

Where to recover

--target_disk=<disk number>
--target_volume=<volume number>

Recovering a disk

If the --target_disk parameter is specified, the software will recover to the specified disk.

If the --target_disk parameter is not specified, the software will first try to recover to the original disk, namely, to that very disk you backed up. If the original disk is not found, the command will fail.

Recovering a volume

If the --target_volume parameter is specified, the software will recover to the specified volume.

If the --target_volume parameter is not specified, and the --target_disk parameter is specified, the software will try to recover to the first unallocated space of a suitable size on the specified disk. If no unallocated space of a suitable size is found, the command will fail.

If neither the --target_volume parameter nor the --target_disk parameter is specified, the software will first try to recover to the original volume, namely, to that very volume you backed up. If the original volume is not found, the software will recover to the first unallocated space of a suitable size. If no unallocated space of a suitable size is found, the command will fail.

A volume will not be considered original if its size, location or other physical parameters have been changed after backup. Changing the volume letter or label does not prevent the software from recognizing the volume.

--start=<offset>{s|kb|mb|gb}
--size=<volume size>{s|kb|mb|gb}
