Step 7. Select Partitions

On this wizard step, select partitions to restore.

Note that selected partitions must include system volumes as they contain data required for booting the operating system.

Do not exclude recovery partitions unless you are restoring an image to an Elastic Block Store (EBS) Volume

If you selected the Restore as physical disk option on the Restore Type step, the restore wizard enables you to select partitions only.

If you selected the Restore as virtual disk option, the restore wizard enables you to select the following options:
Reorganize partitions using advanced dialog. Select this option to open the Resize Partitions dialog box

Note that in case you selected the Reorganize partitions using advanced dialog, the Convert to MBR option is unavailable

Restore selected partitions to one virtual disk. Select this option to restore all selected partition to one virtual disk.

If an NTFS partition is selected in the restore plan, you are enabled to resize partitions. To learn more, refer to the Resizing NTFS Partitions chapter.

Note that UEFI/EFI partitions are not supported by most cloud storage providers (such as AWS, Miscrosoft Azure and Google Cloud)

In case you need a BIOS boot partition, convert a GPT disk to MBR.

To convert GPT volumes to MBR, select the Convert to MBR check box.

Note that Convert to MBR option is not supported on the following operating systems:
