Can I restore a single partition from a Clonezilla disk image?

I was thinking of performing a Clonezilla backup and was wondering what backup mode to choose. Generally speaking, Clonezilla offers the following backup options: - savedisk: Save a full disk image - saveparts: Save images of specific partitions Correspondingly there are two restore modes: - restoredisk: Restores full disk image - restoreparts: Restores partition images What I am looking for is a hybrid of these two options. I would like to be able to both restore specific partitions and restore my full hard drive in case of a total failure. Does Clonezilla support this restoration pathway out of the box? So far I haven't been able to find any official documentation regarding this. The only reference I did find was a [mailing list discussion](https://www.mail-archive.com/clonezilla-live@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00905.html) from 2010 which pointed to [imgconvert](http://clonezilla-sysresccd.hellug.gr/reloc-img.html) , a custom script which can supposedly convert disk images to partition images. Unfortuantely I have no idea if this script still works. After all it's 5 years old. That's why I wanted to ask here if anyone had any experience with this use case of Clonezilla and could vouch for this solution (or a different one, for that matter).
