This function can help to restore partition or volume. If a partition is damaged, you can restore partition/volume to the normal state from the backup image.
Partition restoration, or partition recovery, is a process used to recover deleted, lost, or damaged partitions. Here are some common scenarios where partition restoration is useful:
Before restoration, there are some things you need to know.
CBackup partition restore is based on CBackup partition backup. You should already have at least one partition image made by CBackup (whatever the source partition is, the current crashed one or a partition on another computer). Even if you have several Windows backup points, it won't work. CBackup does not recognize partition images made by Windows or other software.
If you haven't created a partition backup with CBackup, you can create one based on another working partition. However, after restoration, the partition of the recovered computer will be a copy of the partition you just backed up, not the crashed one. You can choose this method if viable.
Nominally, users should recover using the partition Backup image created on their current failed disk. If the PC fails to boot or has crashed, you can create a WinPE bootable media using CBackup on another healthy computer and then boot the crashed PC from the WinPE bootable media to run the partition restore under WinPE.
We strongly recommend that users create a WinPE bootable media once they start to use CBackup. Such bootable media should be created and kept in a safe place in order to boot a failed computer. Otherwise, not having the required bootable media might result in not being able to recover your computer at all.
If you don't have these items, please download CBackup and prepare what you need.
In the left tab page, select Restore-->Select Task.
From the listed backup tasks, select one that you want to restore and click Next to continue.
In this page, CBackup lists the partitions or volumes contained in this image file. Select a backup point and one of the partitions you want to restore, then click Next to continue.
Select a destination partition, which can be an existing partition or an unallocated space. Click Next.
Now, enter the "Operation Summary" page to preview the restore operation to be executed. If you want to adjust partitions, in the bottom left, click "Edit Partition". Other options, "Sector by sector restore" and "SSD Alignment," are also available.
Click Start Restore and wait for the process to complete, and then click Finish.
If the PC fails to boot or has been crashed, you need to create a WinPE bootable media with CBackup and boot your PC into WinPE to run the partition or volume restore.
Please create a WinPE bootable media using CBackup or AOMEI PE Builder on another healthy computer.
Insert the bootable media into the failed computer and boot from it. ( You may need to change the boot sequence and Boot Mode in the PC's BIOS (Also referred to as UEFI).
When the PC boots up successfully, CBackup (already installed on the bootable device) will run automatically, allowing you to start the recovery of partitions or volumes just as the process under Windows.
If you regularly back up your partition/volume, each backup will generate an image at a given time, so there may be multiple time points to choose from.
The destination disk/partition will be totally overwritten. If the destination contains any important data, it should first be copied to another location.
If any applications are running on the destination partition/disk, CBackup will require you to restart the computer and execute the restore operation in "Restart Mode".
Please note that partition restoration involves manipulating storage devices and should be performed with caution to avoid further data damage. It is advisable to back up important data before performing partition restoration and to have a good understanding of the applicable procedures and risks. For more complex partition issues, it is recommended to consult professional data recovery service providers for specialized support.
In general, partition restoration holds significant importance for data recovery, system repair, and partition management. It can aid in the recovery of lost data, the resolution of system issues, and the adjustment of partitions to maintain and manage the proper functioning of computer systems.
Q: You get the message: "Unable to get the backup information because the image file does not exist, or it can’t be accessed..." when you click the Restore or Advanced button on a backup task of the Home screen.
A: The problem might be that the task can’t locate the backup files for unknown reasons. You need to delete the task and then re-import the backup task by browsing the backup files under Tools-->Import/Export Configuration. After that, the task will be listed on the Home screen again.
