I actually only have one last feature request on my list (next BETA...???). The general idea of only having complete images restored (Disk or System) and/or single partitions at any given time doesn't make too much sense to me. I can't really see a reason why a user can't select a Full disk image and only select a single or subset of partitions from that image for restoration. You appear to have all the mechanisms available to do that, including DELTA Restore if the proper conditions are met for those partitions.
With this feature there would be no reason for a separate Partition restore mode at all. A System and Disk/Partition mode makes sense for imaging and a single restore mode (any image) with the ability to select the "System" (partitions needed to BOOT the System if available in the image... very useful mode for users that don't understand UEFI/Legacy BOOTing requirements) or Partition(s) selected. Eventually, the Delta Restore mode can be made DEFAULT with the ability to turn it off when users want complete image restores with existing images.
I really do like this product...
Regarding restoring a separate partition from the backup image, we believe that it is still necessary. Let's say I have multiple partitions for storing files and I am constantly updating the files in each partition, and one day I accidentally delete or abnormally lose some files in one of the partitions. I have a backup from the previous day, but I don't want to fully restore to the previous day's backup state because the files in other partitions have been changed, and in order to reduce the loss I only want to restore the partition where the files were lost to the previous day's state.
