Restoring Specific Volumes Using 1-Touch Recovery (Interactive)

You can restore specific volumes on the client computer. You can select only system volumes during restore and add the non-system volumes later. This feature is useful in the following scenarios:

• The non-system volumes reside on disks provisioned by iSCSI or SAN.

• You do not want to restore the data from the non-system volumes.

Procedure

1. Use the 1-Touch Live CD to boot the client computer.

2. Optional: In the Language Selection Dialog dialog box, select a language from the list. To use the same language for the keyboard, click Use default keyboard for the selected language check box and click OK.

   The 1-Touch Recovery Wizard appears.
