Rapid Delta Restore
When enabled, only the changed blocks between the source and destination file system will be restored.
This can massively decrease the time taken to restore an image, as not all blocks on the destination file system will have changed since the image was created. This option only applies when restoring NTFS file systems and will not apply when shrinking a partition during a restore.

SSD TRIM
This option provides automated SSD optimization resulting in enhanced SSD performance and longevity. Writing to an unused block is much quicker than an in-use block as it avoids both the slow erase operation and the read-modify-write cycle. This results in an increase in both the lifespan and the performance of the device. It is effective for all Windows operating systems, even those that support SSD trim natively as the file system driver can only TRIM blocks on de-allocation; it cannot TRIM blocks written by another process. It is also effective for USB-attached SSDs.
Verify Image
When enabled, this option will perform a verification of the image file before the restore starts. This can help ensure that the image is in a restorable, non-corrupted, state before the restore begins and partitions are removed from the destination disk.
Enabling verification can significantly increase the time the restore takes.
Master Boot Record
The 'Master Boot Record' option specifies whether to recover and replace the master boot record (sector 0) and the remainder of track 0 on the destination disk with that of the backup.
Track 0 is sector 0 through to 63, and is usually unused from sector 1 for an MBR disk.
For MBR disks, the partition table in the first sector is always recalculated to align with the restored partition(s).
For GPT disks, this option has no effect.
Shutdown
This will control the default power-saving options when a restore has completed:
|
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
| Shutdown |
When selected the system will shutdown after the restore is complete. A sub-option can be enabled to force all programs to close without querying the user whether they can be closed. |
| Hibernate | When selected the system will hibernate after the restore is complete. |
| Suspend | When selected, the system will suspend after the restore is complete. |
| Reboot |
The computer will restart once the restore has completed. A sub-option can be enabled to force all programs to close without querying the user whether they can be closed. |
