2.2 Can I restore it to a smaller or bigger partition ?
You can't restore to a smaller partition (you will have an error), but it's possible to restore to a lager one. In this case, some space will be lost (I suppose the OS cannot use all the size). Partimage don't have a resize feature, but you can use other tools. I'd like to add this in the future too. It will allow to restore into a smaller or larger partition. Indeed, as Partimage is low level it uses data blocks. So r esizing is possible, but that's a complex feature to implement. With some File Systems made to be easily re-sizable (as NTFS, ext2, ReiserFS), it may be easy, but with FAT, it's hard to do. For example, when resizing from 1,5 GB to 3 GB, you must change FAT16 into FAT32... You can use GNU Parted to do it.
