Restoring differential backup
I apologise for the silly question, but I'm a rooky and in full panic trying to recover from a major system crash of a complex set up.
I'm trying to restore disks from TIH+p. (I'm using the most recent build bootable CD). My backups were chains of Complete and Differential.
My doubt is: do I need to restore FIRST complete bkup and THEN the last differential bkup file
OR
should I just select the last differential bkup file and TIH does the rest (restore relevant complete and modify with differential differences)?
What about sector by sector copy/restore?
Too confused? I am...
Thanks for any help

Thank you GroverH.
After useless recovery of whole disks I embarked in a silly endless attempt with (complete) file recovery (still running). The disks are the same and seem to be ok. The problem probably is in the "strange" windows 7 setup I had (system on SSD C: disk but user files on hardware raid 5 E: volume -3 disks, intel raid-).
If I find a way of having the system back on and running without a flat system reinstall I'll let you know. (Yet I expected that restoring the two whole disks would have given me back the system as it was at the moment of the last back up :-< )
