Recover just the system partition

Yesterday I made a backup using a thumb drive. Today I want to restore just the system partition. But when I try the Recovery option and it does show drive C, I only see a way to "Recover PC" which wants to restore every partition.

Note that I can't supply a log because the backup was made offline.

Can someone help me?

Eddy,

With your desired backup selected click on the Recovery tab, will be presented with a directory tree view from which to select a backup .tib file.  If you look to the bottom-middle of the screen you should see a button, Recover disks.  Clicking that button will change the screen to a different view where you can select either the full disk of that backup task (default) or at the top-middle of screen you can click on the Partition tab which allows for selection of an individual partition.

Thanks, that did it. But here is a little correction for future viewers:

On the Recovery window, click "Recover PC" on the lower left to see the "Recover disks" button. Once there click the "Partitions" button and place a check mark on the desired partition. That will  open up a selection where you will give the destination partition. Click the down arrow and select the destination partition.

Yeah, my intent was to lead you to the right place, glad it worked.
