Situation
* Restoring a base (i.e., not an add-on) image to a partition using
the a1:p1 form of the restore command (ap=partition:partition A mapping
between a partition in the image archive (a-partition) and a target
physical partition on the local machine (p-partition). Use this
parameter to selectively restore a specific part of the image to a
specific local partition.)
See " F.4 Restore Mode" in "F.0 ZENworks Imaging Engine Commands" in the ZCM 10 Documentation
See " 64.4 Restore Mode (img restore)" in " 64.0 ZENworks Imaging Engine Commands" in the ZDM7 Documentation
See "30.1 Imaging Devices" in "30.0 Using Preboot Services" in the ZLM 7.3 Documentation
* Partition already contains data
* Restore terminates with "Segmentation Fault"

Resolution
Base images should not be restored to non-empty partitions - either
create an add-on image, or clear the partition before restoring,
for example:
img -pd1 #delete partition 1
img -pc1 -type NTFS #create partition 1, NTFS formatted
img -pa1 #set partition 1 active
img -rp 'ImageName' -ap=a1:p1
img -pd1 #delete partition 1
img -pc1 -type NTFS #create partition 1, NTFS formatted
img -pa1 #set partition 1 active
img -rp 'ImageName' -ap=a1:p1
Additional Information
Base images are only designed to be placed into empty partitions,
and errors can occur when deleting a file that's already present on
the disk and replacing it with the copy from the base image.
