5.4.1 Disk recovery mode
With this option you can select the disk recovery mode for image backups.

Recover sector-by-sector - select this check box if you want to recover both used and unused
sectors of disks or partitions. This option will be effective only when you choose to recover a
sector-by-sector backup.
5.4.2 Pre/Post commands for recovery
You can specify commands (or even batch files) that will be automatically executed before and after
the recovery procedure.
For example, you may want to start/stop certain Windows processes, or check your data for viruses
before recovery.
To specify commands (batch files):

Select a command to be executed before the recovery process starts in the Pre-command field.
To create a new command or select a new batch file, click the Edit button.

Select a command to be executed after the recovery process ends in the Post-command field. To
create a new command or select a new batch file, click the Edit button.
Please do not try to execute interactive commands, i.e. commands that require user input (for
example, "pause"). These are not supported.
5.4.2.1 Edit user command for recovery
You can specify user commands to be executed before or after recovery:


In the Working directory field type-in a path for command execution or select it from the list of
previously entered paths.

In the Arguments field enter or select command execution arguments from the list.
Disabling the Do not perform operations until the command execution is complete parameter
(enabled by default), will permit the recovery process to run concurrently with your command
execution.
The Abort the operation if the user command fails (enabled by default) parameter will abort the
operation if any errors occur in command execution.
You can test the command you entered by clicking the Test command button.
