When you first open up the "Restore image" module of Cyric, you will be presented with the screen as shown on the picture below.
NOTE: If a device does not has any image assigned to it's serial number or model type. You will possible see a empty box that does not shows any images that are selectable for this device.
In case you don't see any image, read the Create Image guide.
Additionally, if you expect a image to be available which is present in the Cyric mesh, but not being shown in the "Restore image" module, than there is a possibility that the image was not published yet. To have it published, please contact Service Planet HQ.

NOTE: The time needed to restore a image on a drive can vary from device to device. It is dependent on basically four factors:
Size of the image.
The storage type (HDD, SSD, NVMe, eMMC).
Hardware specifications of the storage drive (Read and Write speed).
The processing power of the computer.
Keep in mind that these factors also play a part on the restore time:
Your Cyric setup.
Filesystem of the partitions
Restoring a image that includes a lot of fragmented files.
