96 Appendix E: Microsoft Windows operating system partition backup and recovery
Restore Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
You can restore the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise operating system partition of your
Matrox Iris GTR smart camera, using the Matrox Iris GTR Rescue utility with a
backup .wim file or a captured backup .wim file.
Warning! The restore operation will reformat and erase all data currently on the Matrox
Iris GTR storage drive (eMMC). If you have two (or more) partitions on your
Matrox Iris GTR storage drive, or have external drives connected, select the correct
drive or disconnect from all external hard drives to prevent data being erased by
accident.
❖ The RECOVERY partition houses the Matrox Iris GTR Rescue utility and does
not get reformatted if you restore a backup .wim file from the Matrox Rescue
utility console. However, if you use a rescue USB key with a captured backup .wim
file (W10EGTR.wim), or restore to factory default settings file
(W10Ex64GTR.wim), then both the RECOVERY and MTXGTR partitions are
reformatted.
To restore your Matrox Iris GTR’s operating system partition, you must access
your Matrox Iris GTR directly; you cannot perform this task remotely. To access
the camera directly, connect a display devices, keyboard, and mouse to your
Matrox Iris GTR. For information, refer to Powering and connecting to your Matrox
Iris GTR section, in Chapter 2: Powering and connecting to your Matrox Iris GTR
for more information.
To restore your Matrox Iris GTR’s operating system partition, perform the
following:
1. Reboot your Matrox Iris GTR.
2. During the reboot, after the power-on self-test (POST), press the F8 key, a list of
possible options will be displayed. Click on the Troubleshoot option, and then
on the Matrox Rescue Utility option.
