How to Restore Disk Images to Physical Disks

See page 21 for disk related information.

The general procedure is shown below. Note that it is also possible to set up a task to perform the same steps. The steps below show how to restore disk images to a physical disk as a once-off restore process.

Select Restore from the main menu, then Restore Sector-Level Disk Backups.

In the next screen, all you need to do is select the disk image file by clicking Browse, and then selecting the target disk by clicking Select:

Click “Start” to start the recovery process. If you want to restore several disk images to several disks at the same time, you can add additional steps to the process by clicking “Add Disk” before starting the process. The screen will then contain another section for the second disk, where you select the disk image and its respective physical disk target.

The option “Perform live VM conversion” is a special function that allows you to use a virtual disk while the VM is running and copy the contents of that disk to a physical disk. The VM can run during the process and is not affected in any way. If you choose to convert a VM’s virtual disk to a physical computer (V2P conversion), you should also enable the option “Apply universal boot settings”, which causes BC to modify the Windows boot settings in a way that will help adapt to the new hardware where you will install and boot the physical target disk.
