Advanced Options for Restoring a Drive from a Backup

MultiDrive offers several advanced options for restoring a drive from a backup. Here’s how to use them.

Partial Restore

Restore only a specific partition or drive segment from the backup by adjusting the target sector range.

Verify Data Integrity Using Hash

To make sure that all data has been properly restored, enable hash calculation. A hash function helps verify data integrity. MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512 hashing algorithms are supported.

Restore from Split ZIP Files

Is your backup split across multiple ZIP files? No worries — MultiDrive can handle it! Just place all the files in the same folder, select the first ZIP file, and the app will process the rest.

Mount Target Drive Upon Task Completion

With this feature enabled, MultiDrive will mount the target drive once the restore task is complete. This way, you can access the restored drive immediately.

Pro Tip: Always Test Your Backups

Remember: creating a backup is only the first step. Ensuring you can restore it is just as important.

After finishing a backup with MultiDrive, take a moment to test the backup file. You don’t need to perform a full restore each time — even checking the file’s integrity, mounting it, or using the partial restore feature can confirm that your data is safe.

Why is this important? Because a backup you can’t restore is no backup at all.

With MultiDrive, you can quickly verify your backup by:

  • Using the hash calculation feature to confirm file integrity.
  • Trying a partial restore to a test drive or partition.
  • Ensuring split ZIP files are complete and loadable.

Don’t wait for an emergency to find out your backup doesn’t work. Test now — save time and stress later.
