Clonezilla restore failure

[LeMarchand]

Tried to restore a Clonezilla image over the weekend, but it failed stating that the image is "not a Partclone image" (though it was created with 'Zilla. I've tried the version of Clonezilla that it was likely created with, but that didn't help. Google suggests lots of "sudo this" or "simply..." but I don't even know where the commands should go. Even the one that suggested using Clonezilla's Advanced Mode was fruitless as the option they said they used (ntfsclone) wasn't there.

 

Anyone got any bright ideas?

Could you have created a disk image rather than a image of the partition??

I did create a disk image, but that's what I'm trying to restore. (Click "Restore Disk" in the GUI). Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

Probably not relevant as you say you have probably got th esame one - but when I have had problems with Clonezilla it has normally come down to having saved with a different version than I am trying to restore with. It's not supposed to make a difference but....

I might try the previous version to the second one I tried. I only tend to update the ISO quarterly and picked the nearest one to the image creation date - it may have been that I hadn't quite updated by then!

Tried half a dozen different versions of Clonezilla and never got this to work. Luckily I managed to recover the disk I thought I needed to restore.

 

Best I go back and check my other backups are OK, though it's about time I took new ones anyway.
