Operating System (OS) / system image restore helps you effortlessly restore your drive / system image files to a hard disk - at the click of a button. You don’t need a recovery environment to restore your image file to a new hard disk (within the IDrive application), in order to make your OS (operating system) live. With OS image restore, all you have to do is sign in to your IDrive cloud account from any working computer, and select the 'IDriveDiskImage' / 'IDriveSystemImage /'IDDriveImage' /'IDHDImage' folder containing the drive / system image file from your IDrive cloud backup account, local backup or Express backup and hard disk for performing restore operation. Once the restore is completed, select your hard disk in BIOS and boot your computer, to get your system live.
Note: If you have set a private encryption key for your account, then provide the same here.
Note: In case you have performed local backup, where the system image backup on the local device is encrypted, you need to restore the encrypted Express or local backup folder to an external device to decrypt and then perform restore operation.
Note: Restoring an OS / System image overwrites all the existing drive contents with the image file.
You can also restore the drive/system image file easily to the drive.
