Restore a disk image to a disk using Disk Utility on Mac

1. In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, select the volume that you want to restore in the sidebar, then click the Restore button .

   This is the volume that is erased and becomes the exact copy.

   If you’re restoring from a disk image, click the Image button, then navigate to that disk image.

3. Click Restore.

To restore a disk image with multiple volumes to a disk, you must partition the destination disk, then restore each volume individually.

1. In the Finder on your Mac, double-click the disk image to open it.

   The disk image’s volumes appear as disks in the Finder.

2. In the Disk Utility app, select the disk in the sidebar, click the Partition button , then partition the destination disk.

   The destination disk must have as many partitions as the disk image, and each of the disk’s partitions must be at least as large as the corresponding partition in the disk image. See Partition a physical disk using Disk Utility on Mac.

3. In the sidebar, select the volume that you want to restore, then click the Restore button .

   This is the volume that is erased and becomes the exact copy.

   • Restore from a disk image: Click Image, choose the disk image you want to copy, then click Open.
