Restore a partimage backup to loopback

You need a file to mount as a HDD device - using DD, the following will instantly create a file of SIZE Gigabytes:
- ```
dd if=/dev/zero of=myharddisk.img bs=1000 count=0 seek=$[1000*1000*SIZE]
```

 You need to make this file look like a block device (Choose a free /dev/loop device):

```
losetup /dev/loop0 myharddisk.img
```

Start partimage manually from the command line, pointing to your loop device
- ```
partimage /dev/loop0 backupfile.000
```
Remove the file from the loop device
- ```
losetup -d /dev/loop0
```

Mount the new file on a directory

mount myharddisk.img /path/to/dir -o loop

Enjoy the backup's files
