Yes, they are both possible in Acronis. it doesn't matter whether you've backed up your entire drive, one partition or even some files/folders, you can either restore the whole backup image or some files/folders in it. you can also specify where you want your image be restored. for better results you better do the backup/restore using bootable media instead of in the OS itself.
Here are the steps:
- Boot your system with Acronis bootable media (you can create it in the Tools in Acronis)
- At the startup, boot to your bootable media and select the option "Acronis True Image". Your system will reboot using Acronis True Image bootable media.
- On the opened window, under the Recover section, click My Disks to recover your system drive.
- On the next window, click Browse and locate the backup file .TIB extension.
- Once located, back on the previous window, click Next.
- On Choose recovery method window, you have multiple options to either select Recover whole disk, partitions or some files/folders.
- in the next step to specify destination folder, you can choose where you want to save/recover your files. it can be a folder you've already created, a partition or the whole HDD.
