Backup/Recovery to smaller harddisk

Good morning. I would like to have your support for procedural clarification. 

We need to backup and restore to the smaller sized disk. Currently we have a disk of 800GB (used space is 65GB: The disk is overspec.) We wish to restore the drive into the disk of 120GB. 

The motivation is to replace current SATA disk into SSD for fault torelance purpose. The PC is used for a specific purpose (an application) and disk-usage is considered as static (do not increase nor descrease).

Would SSR2013 capable of handling recovering C: drive into smaller disk space? If so, would you possibly indicate any resources/procedure/steps for our review?

I would appreciate for your support in advance.

Yes, you can restore to a smaller disk. You can use the formula mentioned in the article below to work out if you have enough space:
