Disk destination
To specify a destination disk:
1. Select a disk where you want the selected disk to recover to. The destination disk's space should
be at least the same size as the uncompressed image data.
2. Click OK.
All the data stored on the target disk will be replaced by the backed up data, so be careful and watch out for
non-backed-up data that you might need.

NT signature
When the MBR is selected along with the disk backup, you need to retain operating system
bootability on the target disk volume. The operating system must have the system volume
information (e.g. volume letter) matched with the disk NT signature, which is kept in the MBR disk
record. But two disks with the same NT signature cannot work properly under one operating system.
bootability on the target disk volume. The operating system must have the system volume
information (e.g. volume letter) matched with the disk NT signature, which is kept in the MBR disk
record. But two disks with the same NT signature cannot work properly under one operating system.
If there are two disks having the same NT signature and comprising of a system volume on a machine, at the
startup the operating system runs from the first disk, discovers the same signature on the second one,
automatically generates a new unique NT signature and assigns it to the second disk. As a result, all the volumes
on the second disk will lose their letters, all paths will be invalid on the disk, and programs won't find their files.
The operating system on that disk will be unbootable.

A new NT signature will be created only if the existing one differs from the one in the backup.
Otherwise, the existing NT signature will be kept.

Create new

Recover from backup
The program will replace the NT signature of the target hard disk with one from the disk backup.
Recovering the disk signature may be desirable due to the following reasons:
