    Is it possible to do what I wrote in the subject?
    Example: I created a device image of a disk with 5 partitions on it. Can I restore just one of these partitions to a new disk?
    If yes, is this also true if the target disk is smaller than the original one (but the partition I want to restore is smaller than the target disk)?
    Example: the partition I want to restore is 50 GB. It's contained in a multi-partition image of a 750GB HDD.
    Can I restore it to, say, to a 120GB HDD?
    When I ran the check whether the device image could be restored, the utility confirmed restorability for each partition separately.

    Yes, you can restore that with "restoreparts". The key point is, the destination "partitoin" size must be equal to or larger than the source one.

    Steven.
