How to restore image of SSD to HDD USB disk?

Thread needs solution

Have just installed ATI Home 2015 and wish to test restoring (but NOT to my c: drive!).

c: is SSD; target drive for restore is HDD (USB). For proper test it needs to be bootable.

Using bootable media, I have twice now initiated the Restore to the USB drive The process started without errors, but both attempts failed before comletion, with error message. The target drive is larger than the original source.

I also tried using a bootable Acronis Universal Boot drive but it seemed interested only in restoring to the on-board c: drive.

What have I missed please?

You wouldn't be able to make a USB bootable by restoring a SATA system disk to it.
