Can Ghost restore to a smaller partition?

[joe]

Windows XP Pro

Say a NTFS boot partition is 20 GBytes of which 10 GBytes is free.
If you make a Ghost backup and try to restore it to
a 11 GByte boot parition, will it work?
Or will Ghost only restore to a 20GByte or larger partition?

I know that Drive Image requires 20Gbyte or larger
even though only 10GBytes has data.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, it will work.

Ghost 7/8 will do it, as they use file archives. Does V9?

Yes, it will work.

Most of the time Ghost (not v9.0) will restore image allowing to reduce size
of partition (there are rare situations when it will not).
