Restore multiple partitions into empty space adjecent to existing partition?
I bought a laptop which came with Windows 10 installed. I did a partition backup of the entire disk, wiped the disk and installed Linux on the drive. The Win10 backup has 5 partitions.
Now I think it might be useful to have Win10 available on the laptop as dual boot.
I can shrink the Linux partition and leave ample empty space to hold Win10.
Is there a straight forward way to "restore" the Win10 backup into the empty space left if I shrink the Linux partition? The machine is set up for UEFI/Secure boot.

Thanks for the info and for the warning. Too bad there's no Linux ackup bsoftware as smooth as the Acronis products.

I use ATI run from my Windows OS to backup my Ubuntu partition on the laptop and it does the job just fine, otherwise, I have used the Acronis Rescue Media to boot a dedicated Ubuntu box and do offline backups, plus have a copy of Clonezilla in the tool bag for when needed.
