Restore from Proxy
Use the Restore from Proxy mode to retrieve an image from an imaging (proxy) server and put it
down on the computer. For more information, see “Manually Putting an Image on a Workstation”
on page 463.
To use the Restore from Proxy mode:
1 Enter img to display a menu > select Restore an Image > Proxy Image. Type the IP address
or DNS name of the imaging (proxy) server. Type the UNC path and filename where the
image is to be retrieved from. Specify any advanced parameters, such as sfileset or
apartition:ppartition.
sfileset The number of the image fileset (variant) to put down. Valid values are 1 through 10. For information on
creating variants of an image, see Chapter 45, “Preparing Images,” on page 469.
If you omit this parameter, fileset 1 is used.
apartition:ppartition A mapping between a partition in the image archive (apartition) and a target physical partition on the
local machine (ppartition). Use this parameter to selectively restore a specific part of the image to a
specific local partition.
IMPORTANT: If you use this parameter, none of the existing local partitions are removed, and only the
target local partition is updated. The update process does not remove any existing files or overwrite any
existing files of the same names if they are newer. If you want to remove all existing files from the target
partition before updating it, first use
img pd and img pc to delete and recreate the partition.
For apartition, use the partition number displayed for the source partition in the Image Explorer
(Imgexp.exe) utility. For ppartition, use the partition number displayed by
img dump for the target
partition. The target partition must be a Windows partition. You can repeat this parameter as needed to
request multiple selective restorations in a single operation. In doing so, you can apply multiple parts of
the image to a single local partition, but you can’t apply the same part of an image to multiple local
partitions in a single operation.
Example Explanation
img restorel8 /imgs/dellnt.zmg Removes all existing local partitions except the one in slot 8, retrieves
the image from imgs/dellnt.zmg in slot 8, and puts down the partitions
and contents of that image on the available local writable devices.
(Assumes there’s sufficient local space and that slot 8 contains a
primary FAT16 or FAT32 partition.)
img restorel /imgs/dellnt.zmg Removes all existing local partitions, retrieves the image from imgs/
dellnt.zmg in the ZfD imaging partition, and puts down the partitions and
contents of that image on the available local writable devices (assuming
there’s sufficient space).
img restorel /imgs/dellnt.zmg s2 Removes all existing local partitions, retrieves the image from imgs/
dellnt.zmg in the ZfD imaging partition, and puts down the partitions and
contents of variant 2 of that image on the available local writable
devices (assuming there’s sufficient space).
img restorel /imgs/dellnt.zmg a2:p1 a3:p1 Retrieves the image from imgs/dellnt.zmg in the ZfD imaging partition,
updates local partition 1 with the data from partitions 2 and 3 of that
image, and leaves the other local partitions unchanged. (Assumes
there’s sufficient space in local partition 1.)
