Abstract
Restoration of a backup of a first volume to a second volume on physical media. In one example embodiment, a method for restoration of a backup of a first volume to a second volume on physical media includes accessing a volume boot record of the second volume while the volume boot record is in a valid state on the physical media, modifying the volume boot record to place the volume boot record into an invalid state on the physical media, writing data from the backup of the first volume to the inaccessible portion of the data segment of the second volume while the volume boot record is in the invalid state, and restoring the volume boot record to the valid state. In this example embodiment, the invalid state prevents a standard operating system from accessing at least a portion of the data segment of the second volume.
