Partition Restoration Scenarios

ShadowProtect Recovery Environment supports a wide variety of partition restoration scenarios to answer specific user needs. These cover both a single and multiple partitions:

Single Partition

Beginning of Free Space

ShadowProtect uses the "A" source partition's backup image files to restore the original volume to the new drive. This new "A" partition is the same size as the original, and begins at the start of the available free space on the new destination drive.

End of Free Space

ShadowProtect restores the original "A" volume to a same size partition on the new drive. This new "A" partition ends at the end of available free space on the destination drive.

Recreate the Original Partition

Select Recreate original partition in the same place to restore a volume to the same location as on the source drive.

ShadowProtect restores the original volume "A" to the same physical location on the new drive. Often this leaves free space after the partition on the new drive.
