Resize partition on restore
In previous versions of ATI, I had been able to conveniently restore partitions to smaller/larger disks by the resize partition feature.
However with the 2020 version UI, when I attempt to recover a 64GB SD card image (with less than 7GB data) to a 32GB SD card, regardless of Disk or Partition mode, it just states "Cannot recover the selected disk." Recovery options don't show any resize option either.
Where has it gone?

exFAT. ATI cannot deal with that filesystem format?

Aaron, thanks for confirming the exFAT file system.
The ATI 2020 User Guide states the following: (note the * ** comments!)
Supported file systems
- NTFS
- Ext2/Ext3/Ext4
- ReiserFS(3) *
- Linux SWAP *
- HFS+*/HFSX*
- FAT16/32/exFAT * **
* File systems are supported only for disk or partition backup/recovery operations.
** File systems are supported only for disk or partition recovery operations (without resizing).
If a file system is not supported or is corrupted, Acronis True Image 2020 can copy data using a sector-by-sector approach.

Oh bummer :(
I needed some "wholesome" way to restore the contents of that 64GB card to a smaller replacement card, because it was used as an alternative storage drive for my mother's tiny laptop (only 32GB - effective 28GB - main drive), and Windows 10 placed some system folders (e.g. WindowsApps) on it that I wasn't allowed to access even when trying to copy on other computers.
Anyway eventually I bit the bullet and just put in the 32GB card and let Windows sort itself out with the new card. At least her personal files were intact.
