Recovering Disks and Partitions
You can recover disks and partitions from backup files stored on local or network storage.
Note: Before starting the recovery process, ensure that the target disk has the same logical sector size as the original disk. Recovery will fail if the sector sizes do not match.
- Older hard drives typically use a 512-byte logical sector size.
- Modern HDDs and SSDs often use a 4096-byte logical sector size.
