restoring 2 partitions in 1 operation

Post by Capodastro »

Hello!
I need to restore 2 linux partitions on the same time, actually one is simply the boot folder linked to the root.
Image for dos lists the two partitions as (0480) and (04FF).
Programmatically I get the following string:
C:\IFD_LNX\IMAGE.EXE /r /d:b0@0x480,0x4FF /f:"C:\IFD_LNX\SUSE\SUSE_122"
by executing this command I get Error 61: invalid parameter /d:b0@0x480,0x4FF
- manually restoring works and the LOG shows the same parameter.
- restoring separately the partitions works also, but the process is no longer unattended,
needing at least a reboot!

Perhaps somebody could explain me what I didn't understand!
Thanks in advance.

Does it work if you just specify the destination drive and the source partitions (I assume you're restoring back to the original drive)? For example,

image.exe /r /d:b0 /f:"c:\ifd_lnx\suse\suse_122" /sp:0x480,0x4FF

Thanks a lot!
A big linux installation restored in less as 6 minutes, a brilliant software.
In the next couple of days I will complete this post to make it useful for other users.
By the way, convinced about the necessity of always declaring as second parameter
/d:b0@0x480,0x4FF (my target), I had just tried
C:\IFD_LNX\IMAGE.EXE /r /d:b0@0x480,0x4FF /f:"C:\IFD_LNX\SUSE\SUSE_122" /sp:0x480,0x4FF
a bite astonished about the redundancy.... :)
Thanks again!
