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.
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.
