• Issue 1 : I want to restore both the disks with same partition mapping sda and sdb using rear recovery.
• Issue 2 : I want to take backup of sbb only and restore sdb only with same partition mapping for sdb using rear.

Kindly help me with the above Issues.

@Spadille1337
do you have separated fully compatible replacement hardware
(or a replacement VM if you currently use a VM) available
where you could risklessly try out step by step how far
"rear recover" works for your specific intended use case?
