#167 Restore windows BCD windows boot manager after clonezilla finished backup or restore
Hello,
we are using an automated backup and restore script for Clonezilla.
First, we start modifying the windows boot manager under windows, and after a restart, it will auto-run Clonezilla (backup or restore process) - then everything is automated.
But after reboot, there is still in windows boot manager as default Clonezilla to boot as it was set in windows before starting backup/restore.
That means... it will go in a LOOP after restart (still booting Clonezilla)
Our target is now. With these commands, we can export the original setting of windows boot manager before starting the process.
1, bcdedit /export d:\originalbackup.bcd # this will make a complete backup of boot manager
2, bcdedit /import d:\restore.bcd # this will completly restore boot manager to original state. This we need apply on final script in clonezilla as final step.
With this "command," bcdedit /import d:\restore.BCD, we will be able, after backup/restore, to go direct to windows, and Clonezilla will not be available anymore for boot as option.
With this solution we will be have 100% fully automated backup or restore system.
Any idea/help?
Many thanks !!!! :)

Thanks !!
In that case, maybe you can try the option "-t1" or "-j1" in the expert mode:

Forgot to mention, this only works for MBR, not EFI mode.
