I backed up a partition nvme0n1p3 to an image and immediately restored it (saved image to original partition). It went well and did it. But I am curious to a prompt in the middle; Creating a tmp clonezilla image "2026-07-27-img-tmp-cnvted" based on the image "2026-07-27-img" so that we can restore the image "2026-07-27-img" (was saved from nvme0n1) to nvne0n1 ... Why does it need to do this ? (nothing has changed) and why does it need to ask me before doing it ?

I have no idea what you just said. it's now 2 hours ago so I assume plenty of time for an edit but none happened. What does "Well, just test it the TUI." mean? is it English? Cause I don't understand it.

Not very sure what you meant... Maybe take a video then share it?
-
Well, just test it the TUI. Basically it's harmless to your system if you do not really save or restore the image.
-
Isn't that the testing version I,E, not stable?
-
There are no error messages. You can't select the source disk (to be cloned), it asks if you want to repeat the selection, continuously, without result.
-
Please give testing Clonezilla live a try, i.e., >= 3.3.3-18: https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php Let us know the result. Thanks.
-
BTW, I'm using the builtin (Linux) USB image writer.
-
it seems to be back with the version 3.3.3-15-amd64.iso but not with the resolute one.
-
What did you mean by "it shows the USB HDD disks, but does NOT select them"? Please take some photos about the messages on the screen and share that with us. Thanks.
-
After updating Secure Boot certificates WINDOWS 11, Clonezilla (vers. 3.3.3-16 the latest, but also the previous one) no longer performs the clone (for me) (it shows the USB HDD disks, but does NOT select them).

Thx fo' yo' hard graft, hopefully not too hard!?! OS model works well it would seem. Keep up the great work!!!

Doh! That's raw boot partition, your right! Thx!!!

Please follow this: https://clonezilla.org//fine-print-live-doc.php?path=clonezilla-live/doc/02_Restore_disk_image and when you see this menu: https://clonezilla.org//clonezilla-live/doc/02_Restore_disk_image/images/ocs-08-5-restoredisk.png Select "chk-img-restorable" and choose the image you want to check.
-
So it looks normal to me now. Anything wrong?

How can I check an existing image file to see if it is restorable?

Thanks!!! I'll give it a try...

I have tried. With your commands (added with a "screen -L -Logfile screenlog.txt") I dont get the error. I have tried a 2nd time, where I started "bash -x clonezilla" instead of your 2nd command. This resulted in screenlog2.txt. But after some testing and better understanding, I think it is by design and not a bug. If there are no existing partitions to choose as target, the restoreparts will always exit with this error.
-
Thanks for your feedback. The results are interesting... I believe I need more info, please boot Clonezilla live 3.3.3-15 or 3.3.3-16, enter command line prompt, then run: sudo -i blkid lsblk Please post the results of 2 & 3. Thanks. Steven

Thanks for your feedback. Please boot Clonezilla live 3.3.2-31 on the machine you have such an issue, enter command line prompt, then run: sudo -i bash -x ocs-prep-repo -t local_dev If you are familiar with screen or tmux, before running the 2nd command, enter it so it's easier to copy the output on the screen. Then please share the output on the screen. Thanks.
-
"box" is an unkown partition device on target selection for restoreparts
-
Great. Thanks for sharing that. The "~70GB/min" is quite amazing. Nice to know that. Absolutely there is still room for improvements. Let us know if you find the common factors that can improve the performance in general.

nicdai posted a comment on discussion Clonezilla live
Thanks for sharing this information. I hopefully now understand the configuration process. For my setup, using "-6" instead of "-3" gives more performance (+5%) and better compression. Compression levels greater than 6 result in less performance. But at 6 the CPU is yet not fully utilized. So I think that there is some bottleneck with partclone and perhaps the checksum calculations or the network. Anyway, its an interesting journey. I'm now at ~70GB/min, and I think that there is still room for improvements....

"apparent when choosing backup repo destination, can't read file system of file size on my disks. " -> Does that disk have a partition table? Please run the following commands in Clonezilla live command line prompt: sudo -i parted -s /dev/sdb print parted -s /dev/sdc print df -h cat /proc/partitions Please post the results of 2-5. Thanks.

Great. Thanks for confirming that.

No problem. Thanks for share that.

Ok, i have the answer. It was obvious, but not so. When you computer is running outside of Windows, your keyboard forget all its settings, so the numpad was unlocked. And when i pressed "1" the control panel didn't understand the request. Sorry for this post, but it might help

Hello. I try to clone my SSD sata c: (256go) on a new NVME M.2 (512go). So, it's ok for the size. But i have the message "There is no label in boot sector, but there is volume label "boot" stored on root directory" and two proposed answers "1) copy volume label from root directory to boot sector", or "2) remove volume label from root directory". I don’t understand what the consequences might be, but on top of that, when I click on 1, it displays a 4 and then an ~... it doesn't make sens for me. I'm...

Not very sure what you meant. Could you please take a photo about the screen that you mentioned "When selecting directories"? Thanks.
-
It only becomes apparent when choosing backup repo destination, can't read file system of file size on my disks. I will take a photo when get chance.

Cool. Thanks for sharing that.

The priority is: /etc/ocs/ocs-live.conf (only exists for Clonezilla live, not Clonezilla SE) /etc/drbl/drbl-ocs.conf For live system, you can also assign the following in the boot parameter: extra_zstd_opt="-T0 -3" Change "-3" to what you want. However, normally it's not worthy since the time spent is much longer but the size does not reduce too much.
-
"But my main Core2Duo BTRFS box only works with third release back or older." -> What are the error messages if you use the latest Clonezilla live 3.3.3-15? Or maybe give testing Clonezilla live 3.3.3-16 a try? It comes with newer Linux kernel.
-
I believe you can. We have very limited manpower in this project. Hence do not spend any efforts on 32-bit version Linux anymore. Sorry.
-
Please take some photos about the issues on the screen and share that. It's easier for us to debug. In addition, next time please keep the log file /var/log/clonezilla* and share them, too. Thanks.
-
If you keep the Clonezilla log file (under /var/log/clonezilla*), please share it. maybe we can find why. However, since you have finished cloning, you can use GParted live to resize the partition size: https://gparted.org/
-
Thanks for reporting this issue. We have added a mechanism to clean the hardware whitelist in the LVM configuration. Please give testing Clonezilla live >= 3.3.3-16 or 20260718-* a try: https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php Please let us know the result if you test it. Thanks.

In case someone else is having this problem, I received a fix from the Almalinux forum: This is a known RHEL 10.2 issue caused by the cloned LVM system.devices file. In emergency mode, run: rm -f /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices vgimportdevices -a reboot
-
When selecting directories, it's better that the first row should be the Current directory (.) as default instead of the Parent directory. Right now, there is no row for the current directory, and the user has to tab to the accept button without a selection (which is not obvious).

Hi: I am attempting to clone an AlmaLinux 10.2 machine with a SSD drive using Clonezilla v3.3.3-15. I have tried both cloning to an image and cloning disk to disk. Both times, the resulting cloned machine fails to mount /home.

How can I change the compression level when using -z9p (zstd -T0)? The used/default level is 3. I have already tried changing drbl-ocs.conf by replacing all occurences of -3 to another level. But any changes are ignored by Clonezilla. The used compression level is always 3.

Latest version of Clonezilla works on my recent laptop. But my main Core2Duo BTRFS box only works with third release back or older. Tried running from RAM & also Ventoy or singularly authored to USB.

No. The mechanism for the image of Clonezilla has to be in a directory. Hence it does not work as what you want. Sorry.

Garfield D posted a comment on discussion Clonezilla live
It has been observed that archiving a RHEL9.5 x86-64 workstation installation (from a SATA device) fails to complete when using Clonezilla 3.2.x and 3.3.x. It does not matter if using LVM-based installation or standard filesystem. Clonezilla gets stuck on ""Saving OS info from the device". If you manage to successfully save the image, it fails in the reverse attempting to restore the image back to the SATA storage device. This failure does not occur when using RHEL9.3 installations - it completes...

I would like to back up my hard drive onto multiple DVDs in such a way that I can restore it directly by inserting the first disc, then the second, and so on. Is this possible ?

Not sure. However, did you try the dislocker command directly to decrypt it in the command line prompt?

Hello, I need quick help. I need to make a copy of the entire image of a 128GB SSD drive encrypted with BitLocker from Windows 10. After selecting expert mode, it asks for my BitLocker password, and even though I'm 100% sure it's correct, it won't accept it, giving me the message in the attachment. By the way, there's no way to exit back to the main menu, and then I have to restart Clonozilla. However, as a test, I managed to make a copy of a pendrive image with BitLocker on the same hardware, password,...
