Restore of a Windows 11 System Partition

I still useTrueImage 2016, as it works during the last years very well. Since a few months I am using Win11 on my Laptop. On the new system I also installed my TrueImage, set up the weekly backups and everything seams to work as expected. After a problem with a windows update I tried to restore the system parition, but the restore failed. During the restore every thing seams to be ok, but after the restore operation I see only an empty, not assigned area in my disk. But I am sure, that data were written to the disk. Is there someone, who can help me?
Can I use the old backups whith newer version of TrueImage, which deals well with Win11?
Thank you for your anwers

H Ian,
thank for your detailed answer. In fact, it helps to find a solution. First I shoult explain my machine layouts. In my computers are at least 2 physical drives. First drive contains the main OS. The 2nd contains usually data partitions and a service OS, for example Win 10. The service System is used espacially for desaster recovery. In this particular case, the in in place recovery didn't work, because of a M.2 NVMe disk drive. You explained, why it doesn't work. The recovery with the service OS results in the empty partition, I mentioned above.
I don't want to buy a ACPHO, because of licensing (to expensive). So I tried ATI 2020, hoping it will work - and indeed, it works well.
Thank you for your help and with kind regards
Michael B.
