You should be able to open the image and simply extract the files that you need.

Alignment is supposed to be retained.

Were you using the TI CD?

What OS is on the drive?

Was the partition being restored the OS partition?

Were you restoring an image created from the aligned partition on the SSD or did the image originate elsewhere?

Hello MudCrab,

I have win7 installed on the ssd-drive, partition is aligned.

Until now i work with fsarchiver and it works fine. But i´m interesting in ATI 2011. I have an ATI CD 2009 at home, but there is no option.

I will do an image with ti-cd 2011 from the aligned ssd os-partition (win7).

When i have problems i will restore this image back to the ssd partition (alignment must be the same as before).

Is this possible with TI-cd 2011?

thanks

If the partition was aligned when you created the image and you restore it back to that partition, the alignment should be kept.

hello

if i want restore an backup that is from an ssd windows 7 that ist aligned, i can restore with standart options or i must use too sector per sector or MBR Track 0 and primary or active partition option ?

i have true image 11 v8.105

Frank,
You should not need to use the sector per sector restore.
As to what you need to restore depends upon your specific needs at that time. Maybe you need only to freshen drive C, then simply restore drive C, etc. If you are restoring a new disk, then that requires more partitons in the backup and more to restore. Check out link item #3 below for some restore examples--such as item 3 inside that link which is restoring only C.

If I were you, I would sign up for the 2013 trial and register the trial serial.
Then downlod only the bootable media iso file (not the entire program).
After download, right click on the downloaded iso file and choose the "open with" option and choose "Windows Disk Image burner" as he progam to create the bootable CD.

Upon completion, you would have a 2013 bootable Recovery only CD which can be used to restore your older backups.
I believe this option would give a better chance of a proper Win7 restore but after any restore, you should still verify that the alignment was put back correctly. The user needs to know which is the active partition and the partition sequence (as shown in Windows Disk Management) so the user can overule the program should there be a need for correction.
