Restoring to a smaller disk than original

Thread needs solution

We have backed up a workstation with B&R 10 which has a 500GB hard drive installed. The machine has 25GB of data on it which we clone up to an exteral USB hard drive.

Due to the fact that there is only around 25GB of data on the drive (I know compression is involved here), is it possible to restore the cloned image to a small hard disk i.e. a 250GB drive?

Many thanks for your advice,

 In your case you should be able to, so long as you haven't used the sector by sector imaging technique.
