- Restore a disk image to a target volume:

`sudo asr restore --source {{image_name}}.dmg --target {{path/to/volume}}`

- Erase the target volume before restoring:

`sudo asr restore --source {{image_name}}.dmg --target {{path/to/volume}} --erase`

- Skip verification after restoring:

`sudo asr restore --source {{image_name}}.dmg --target {{path/to/volume}} --noverify`

- Clone volumes without the use of an intermediate disk image:

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