# asr

> Restore (copy) a disk image onto a volume.
> The command name stands for Apple Software Restore.
> More information: <https://keith.github.io/xcode-man-pages/asr.8.html>.

- Restore a disk image to a target volume:

`sudo asr restore --source {{image_file.dmg}} --target {{path/to/volume_file}}`

- Erase the target volume before restoring:

`sudo asr restore --source {{image_file.dmg}} --target {{path/to/volume_file}} --erase`

- Skip verification after restoring:

`sudo asr restore --source {{image_file.dmg}} --target {{path/to/volume_file}} --noverify`

- Clone volumes without using an intermediate disk image:

`sudo asr restore --source {{path/to/volume_file}} --target {{path/to/volume_file}}`
