I used EaseUs Todo Backup to backup and recover several computers. Every computer has only one disk. In a few cases one had an already existing partition layout as follows: 1. Windows7 boot partition (100MB), 2. System partition (50GB), 3. Data partition (200GB).
My original backup contained a clean Windows 7 system with the first small boot partition, and a 40GB system partition. I tried many times to restore that in a way that I could keep the third, data partition untouched, and restore the backup only to the first two partitions. I had no success at all. Every time in the restore procedure I am prompted with the screen that shows that my data partition will be lost, and I will have a system partition with 250GB size, so the new system partition swallows the existing data partition.
I had no luck with their support so far either.
EDIT: To clarify the problem:
This is the disk/partition backup layout:
[x][xxxxxxxx----------------]
This is the target disk layout before restore:
[x][xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx------][xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx----------------------------]
This is what I would like after I restore the backup to the target disk (restored data marked with capital X):
[X][XXXXXXXX----------------][xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx----------------------------]
This is what I get with Todo Backup, no matter what options I try to use:
[X][XXXXXXXX--------------------------------------------------------------]
If Todo Backup cannot solve this, is there an alternate solution?

1I don't understand the question. What you want isn't possible with the software your using. – Ramhound – 2014-02-18T15:10:59.397
It is hard to understand what exactly do you want. Could you make you question more clear? – VL-80 – 2014-02-18T15:25:52.043
I added some example about what I'd like to achieve, the question should be clearer now. Hope you have any idea, or any other suggested software with this feature. – Zoltán Tamási – 2014-02-19T15:28:04.240
