R-Drive Image supports various non-MBR/GPT disk partition schemes: Dynamic disk, BSD Slice, Apple Partition Map with the following restrictions:
• Changes in disk partition ing schemes are supported for basic (regular) and dynamic MBR/GPT disks. R-Drive Image can change partition ing schemes (the number of partitions and their sizes) while restore the data.
• The other partition ing schemes may be backed up and then restored only on their original places or other partitions of the same size. For example, a backup of dynamic disk D: may be restored on disk D: , or on any other dynamic partition provided that its size matches exactly that of disk D: .
• A basic partition may be restored on another partition of another scheme with the above limitation, and a partition of another scheme may be restored as a basic one without limitations.
