During a single restoration session you can restore several partitions or disks one by
one by selecting one disk and setting its parameters first, and then repeating these
actions for every partition or disk to be restored.

Selecting a location to restore to
As a rule you should restore image to the same partition that the image was created
from.
You can restore an image to another partition, but this is needed rather seldom. At
that a partition should be of at least the same size as uncompressed image data.
If you don’t have a serious reason to restore an image to another partition, restore
it only to partition that was used to create this image.
Select partition to restore image to
All the data stored on the restored partition will be replaced by the image data, so be careful
and watch for non-backed up data that you might need.
6.5 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.
