I cloned my system (500GB) using clonezilla. and saved the image to Synology NAS via samba. Now I need to restore it into the new system ( 250GB ) The image is less than 250 , which mean it can be restored to the new system. That what I found in the internet and AI. But I dont know what options do I need to choose to restore the image from the Synology NAS to the new system using clonezilla in the pendrive. I'm able to ping the synology nas from the cmd in clonezilla pendrive boot. Please its urgent.

  is it possible to use clonezilla with expert mode for moving a 500 GB ssd
  data OS system to a 250 GB SSD system without shrinking any partitions to
  fit for 250 GB ?
