Hi,
http://www.sysresccd.org/Download
With the SystemRescueCd I backed up the /dev/sda6 partition in /mnt/backup/ naming "diskimage"

After backing up operation the file has the automatic extension like "diskimage.000".
Is this file ok to restore?
If I name it "diskimage.gz" then it is automatically renamed with this extension "diskimage.gz.000"

The name is correct. It always use .000, .001, .002 .... because
the image can be broken into several pieces, in some cases.

 


But here below
http://www.sysresccd.org/Screenshots
the file is name like this:
"diskimage.pimg"

Do I have to name with the .pimg extension during backup to restore correctly?

No.
 

And how can I restore it?


You will use the file you created:

diskimage.000

(do not forget of typing the extension .000), check the restore box, and point to the partition (its size has to be greater than or equal to the size of the original partition) in the new disk that will receive the backup:
