Selecting a location to restore to
As a rule, you should restore an image to the same partition from which that the
image was created.
It is possible to restore an image to another partition. A partition should be at least
the same size as the uncompressed image data.
Select partition to restore image to
All the data stored on the restored partition will be replaced by the ima
g
e data, so be careful
and watch for non-backed-up data that you might need.
Selecting partition type
When restoring a partition, you can change its type, though it’s not required in most
cases.
To explain why you might need to do this, let’s imagine that both OS and data were
stored on the same primary partition on the damaged disk. You are forced to
restore the partition from a backup to another hard disk with its own partitions and
OS.
