Extra WinPE Scenarios
Importing a Backup Image
This function is also available in Windows.^You can add an existing backup job and all restore points produced by that job to the "My Backups" list and this
way make them available in the program interface.
Supported backup data containers:
- Volume- and file-level virtual containers (pVHD, VHD(X), VMDK) created by the current version.
- Volume- and file-level virtual containers (pVHD, VHD(X), VMDK) created by any 15- 16 th version.
Backups imported in the WinPE recovery environment are only available for the current session, so
you won’t be able to use them in Windows after system restart.Although legacy PBF-based backup images cannot be imported, you’re allowed to specify an old
image as restore point in the Restore Wizard of the Linux recovery media.- Start up the computer from the WinPE recovery media.
- Click Backup & Recovery on the sidebar.
- Left click the three-dot icon on the sidebar opposite "My Backups", then select Import backup.
- Browse for the required backup index file (PFI), then click Next.
