Restore win 7 system partition to a prior level - TI2011

If I want to move the win sys 7 system partition to prior level can I use TI2011 running under win 7 or do I have to use the rescue disk?

It is the windows partition of the booted windows and I assumed TI would have to reboot to unlock the files to restore the partition. I just was not sure this was an acceptable process. Thanks for your response.

Edwin,
In general, people recommend to use the recovery CD to restore a system image. Restoring from within Windows works just fine. ATI will reboot so that it can restore prior to Windows booting up automatically in the latter case. I always use the recovery medium personally.
Also, be aware that if you restore from the CD a non-stop backup, you will not see all the versions, only the last one. From Windows you can pick any prior versions of a non-stop backup. For regular backups, there is no difference.
If you restore Win7, I would advice to restore the system reserved and the system partition or simply the entire disk where the system is. That worked everytime for me. When I tried to restore only the system partition, I had some issues.

I have tried to restore the active OS with ATI in the past but with no success I have a triple boot OS disk with XP Pro, Vista 64x and Win 7 64x. I have restored the Win 7 partition, the disk... and about all combinations of OS partitions using ATI 2010 images and the ATI 2010 rescue disk and never a problem. I have only tried restoring the triple boot OS disk with ATI2011 with both ATI 2010 and ATI 2011 disk images with ATI 2011 rescue disk with no problems. I will have to try restoring just the win 7 partition with ATI 2011 rescue disk and see .
