ok, so I have 3 disks that i'm backing up to one external time machine disk.

one is my internal system disk, the other 2 are external media drives. everything is backing up just fine, but if i should need to only restore my system at a later date, can i do this without restoring all of the files on the other 2 disks?

also, if one of the external media drives fails, can i only restore the files on that drive to another non-system external drive via time machine?

thanks!
