No free (partial) Restore into same disk as backup image possible?

[Geri123]

The way I understand your picture you have 5 partitions. 
My guess would be you should have used the Disk/Partition backup option and chosen every partition (1-5) on your drive. Then will you end with a very large 
backup file (since the data partition 3 is included). If your lucky you could then restore only the data partition 3 otherwise it would be 1-5.

I hope admin can help you with your problem.

If a restore of a system backup indeed does not touch other partitions than the ones included in the system backup I don't really see a problem.

That's exactly the way it works in the PAID version (and pre-PAID release versions).  I don't remember removing that capability in the FREE version when the release was made.

I'm sure the Devs/Admin will chime in on this issue... maybe just a glitch.

At first thank you all for the comments

First of all:
Of course, I have not only stored my HBS system backups on the SSD, but also made a copy on an encrypted external USB hard drive.

Only one partition from a system backup can be restored?
That is, of course, the key piece of information.

But it is also extremely user-unfriendly.

If you're already making a system backup with the same combination of

MBR record, EFI, Windows, WinRE,

in 99% of cases you'll want to restore all four partitions.

Having to perform a restore process four times for the four individual partitions is extremely strange.

This screenshot shows what it looks like for me, by the way:

Is this a system backup or a disk/partition backup? And is the ‘Restore to original location’ option available? Please tick this option to ensure all partitions can be restored to their original locations.

The screenshot you provided shows you have selected the entire disk as the target disk, whilst the backup image file is stored on the target disk. This is not permitted. Perhaps you should provide further screenshots to help us understand the issue in greater detail.
