Backup UEFI Boot Items

Post by jimtbw7 »

If this option isn't checked, does that mean during a restore these items are not restored as well? I thought a restore when selecting the whole drive to restore would restore the whole drive including any boot information.

Windows 11 uefi system.

jimtbw7,

"The boot items are not currently used during a restore but will be listed with the /L /ALL /F output."

From the IFW manual.

@Brian K thanks for answering, but I knew that from reading the manual.
I just want to know if the whole drive is still restored. In other words if I have a boot sector virus or malware modified
the efi partition, is all restored.

Or to get All restored does Backup UEFI Boot Items need to be always checked. I have no idea why they say listed,
what would that have to do with a restore? Manual is vague on that.
