preserve_mbr 
When restoring a partition over an existing one, the target 
partition is deleted from the disk along with its entry in the target 
disk MBR. Then, with the 
preserve_mbr 
option, the restored 
partition’s entry will occupy the upper empty position in the 
target disk MBR. Thus, the target disk MBR is preserved. If not 
specified, the restored p
artition’s entry will occupy the same 
position as in the source disk MBR saved in the image. If the 
position is not empty, the existing entry will be moved to another 
position.

target_folder:[target 
folder] 
Specifies a folder where folders/files will be restored (a target 
folder). If not specified, the original path is re-created from the 
archive. 
overwrite:[older | never | 
always] 
This option allows you to keep useful data changes made since 
the backup being restored was done. Choose what to do if the 
program finds in the target folder a file with the same name as in 
the archive: 
older  – 
this will give the priority to the most recent file 
modification, whether it be in the archive or on the disk. 
never  –  this will give the file on the hard disk unconditional 
priority over the archived file. 
always  –  this will give the archived file unconditional priority 
over the file on the hard disk. 
If not specified, the files on the disk will 
always be replaced with 
the archived files.

Specifies whether to restore files’ security attributes (default) or 
the files will inherit the security settings of the folder where they 
will be restored.

archive or assign the current date and time to the restored files. 
If not specified, the current date is assigned.
