Restore one of multiple drives in .tibx ?
If I back up more than one physical HDD in a .tibx file, might there be any issues restoring it? Say if I want to Restore just one of the HDDs?
(I've always only backed up each Source HDD to a completely different Target HDD, but I just ordered such a huge HDD I could easily just run one backup job.)
Happy Holidays to all!

Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply, Steve!
"I have always kept to one backup per drive for my own backups"
I didn't know other people did that, me too!
For one to maximize the amount of backup history (this impulse has always led me to the expense of buying the largest HDDs available). And because I love when testing software, how easy it is to have my system drive have such a small amount of storage on it that a backup before and restore after go very fast.
But now that I'm thinking of doing it another way, it makes me uncomfortable to imagine a single backup target HDD dying and exposing more than one backup source drive to risk.
Now I think I'll probably get a second target drive pretty soon.
It's that this year on a new system I've got both my system drive and my data drive on SSD, and the 2 TB SSD data drive has gotten so full I need to move storage over to the system SSD (and get one bigger than the 500 GB one I'm using, then I guess put the 500 GB one one eBay). I guess before long I'll be getting another 2 TB SSD and another huge HDD to back it up.
