Can System Partition BackUp Image be Recoverd to a new HD

[Herkulese]

I have been using EaseUS Todo BackUp to image the Cartition of my laptop hard drive at verious stages of Windows 7 setup, and sugsequent software installs and settings
.
This utility works very well for making backup images, and then restoring the system, after anything at all goes wrong. I also have these images all backed up on a 1TB external drive.
I have a bootable CD to do the recovery with so that if Windows gets so corupted that It will not boot, I can still restore the system (C) partition.

Now, I am wondering:

if my hard drive were to go completely bad, could I use these backup images to set up a new hard drive? In other words, could I clone the new hard drive using these partitions images from my backup drive?

That's one of the main purposes for back-up software, so, yes.

Now, bare in mind that I would only be recovering the Backup Image of the Cartition (90gb) onto the new, unpartitioned, hard drive. I am not talking about cloning this partition over the entire drive.

Would this process go ahead and set up the cartition as it exists now, leaving the rest of the drive unalocated?

It is fine with me if it does, as I believe that I can repartition the unalocated portion of the drive later. Is that correct?
