Function request: Restore image to free space
Sometimes, I need to restore the system image to free space, or when I buy a new hard disk, the partition is free space
I suggest using 101 as a baseline,
101 Restore image to first free space
102 Restore image to second free space
103 Restore image to third free space
…………
For example:
★Restore the image to the first free space partition of the second hard disk
r-driveimagecl.exe /a /o restore -s="1:1" -d="2:101" -a="D:\os.rdr"
★Restore the image to the third free space partition of the first hard disk
r-driveimagecl.exe /a /o restore -s="1:1" -d="1:103" -a="D:\os.rdr"
…………
Thanks in advance

Re: Function request: Restore image to free space
You can restore data to free space. If 1:1 is a free space, the -d=1:1 command will restore data to the free space.
Re: Function request: Restore image to free space
There is some confusion in the distribution【The order of the two partitions affects each other】. If the distribution is like the following, it will be more clear
★if Restore the image to the second free space partition of the first hard disk, cmd like this,
If the parameter /x is added, the partition will be expanded automatically, which will be very convenient
r-driveimagecl.exe /a /o restore -s="1:1" -d="1:102" -a="D:\os.rdr" /x

Re: Function request: Restore image to free space
Actually, the numbers aren't correct. 3 goes to the first free space, 4 to Logical Disk F:, 5 to the second free space, and 6 to Logical Disk C:
Re: Function request: Restore image to free space
numbers aren't correct, F: is APFS partitions It contains five partitions
Please look at the following list. In this case, it's troublesome to determine the location of the first free space. It's unclear

In the command-line version:
* Partitions and free spaces can be specified separately.
Using the following command line, it can't run successfully. Can you help me? Thank you very much.
★Restore the image to the first free space partition of the second hard disk
r-driveimagecl.exe /a /o restore -s="1:1" -d="2:101" -a="D:\os.rdr"
