Restoring multiple partitions

[admin]

Incorrect.  Read the entire thread, not just the last post.  I changed the partition structure based on what @Froggie mentioned.  My issue was not a result of that, but still occurred before that, and with multiple images before and after the restructure.

HBS identifies a partition by its location, size, and GUID of the partition, and if there is any change in this information, HBS will not consider it to be the original partition. Please make a backup of the partitions as soon as you create them and then try a restore to see if the problem persists. Thanks.

I have done that, multiple times.  The issue still remains.  Look at the screenshot in the first post.  I can literally try to restore the image seconds after making it and have this issue.  But even that's not a good method; going off of guid.  What happens when it's a new system?  As I've mentioned before, restoring a uefi partition results in a auto-shutdown.

Again, the size of the ANHDV BOOT partition changed, which is why you can't restore to the original location.


You don't seem to mention the issue with auto-shutdown. If you mean that you need to reboot to WinPE to restore ESP, I'm sorry that HBS will ask to reboot to WinPE to perform the restore when it can't get exclusive access to the destination partition.

I mentioned that in the thread directly under this one.  And it is nothing like what you're describing the issue to be.  I suggest you read it.

When restoring a backup in disk mode, all partitions on the destination disk will be deleted by default. While in some cases we may want not to delete all partitions on the destination disk, in order to solve the problem we provide the following two solutions:
1. "Restore to original location" option, with which you can restore all partitions in the backup image to the original location in disk restore mode, but this requires that all backed up partitions on the source disk must exist and partition information (size, location, partition GUID, etc.) has not changed.
2. Advanced mode, through which you can restore all partitions backed up in disk mode a contiguous space (it can be a combination of multiple existing partitions and free space) on the destination disk and keep other unselected partitions that exist on the destination disk.

You mentioned in POST 3 that you deleted the 500M partition and the screenshots you provided showed that the size of the ANHDV BOOT partition had changed, which in fact caused the "Restore to original location" option to not be available.
