Clonezilla / Discussion / Clonezilla live: m2 boot disc clone to image failing. (Failed to save partition)

Rody Froem - 2024-07-10

Hi, I'm trying to backup all partitions of a Windows 10 m2 disk to a HD.
There is an error when copying the 2nd partition to the HD.
Partition 1 and 3 are saved perfectly.
At the end of partclone.log it states: "read error: Success".
Time mentioned in partclone.log is wrong (Total Time: 00:00:01)

The m2 boot disk looks like this:
nvme0n1 (512GB)
nvme0n1p1 (579M_vfat)
nvme0n1p2 (475.9G_ntfs)
nvme0n1p3 (530M_ntfs)

and the error log has this at the end:

Tried:

Clonezilla from USB alternative20240630-noble-amd64 and stable
3.1.3-11-amd64.iso

chkdsk /f in Windows. No errors.

two different destination HD's (with enough space).

Encrypted and not encrypted
Note: recently I prepared for Windows 11 and upgraded my Bios, changed
from mbr to gpt, enabled TPM 2.0 and enabled secure boot.

Please help.

I got same error today. Stable version and alternate stable version are gave "read error".
I went back Clonezilla 3.1.2.22 version and problem gone.

Thanks for your feedback. We will examine this issue.
@Rody, Does Clonezilla live 3.1.2-22 work for you?

Yes, Clonezilla live 3.1.2-22 worked for me.
@Emre, Many thanks. Would not have thought about trying.

You are welcome. I'm using Clonezilla for many years and back up reqularly. So I try every versions :)
My 3.1.3-11 experience details same as Rody's by the way. I have nvme ssd with 6 partitions. I got that error on my Windows partition (200 gig) and I'm splitting backups 4096 mbytes.

Same here. I only get the 'read error: Success' on my main Windows partition

On two systems with the latest Windows 11 (not insider), one on a NVME and one on a SATA SSD.

3.1.3-11 fails
3.1.2-22 works

Guys,
Thanks for your feedback. Could you please give testing Clonezilla live a try, i.e., >= 3.1.3-16 or 20240715-*:
https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
We have reverted the NTFS-related codes to the previous version in the package Partclone. This issue should have been fixed.
Please let us know the results. Thanks.

Same experience with 3.1.3-XX
Would love to try 3.1.2-22 but my Dell XPS-15 just powers itself down trying to boot into 3.1.2-XX :(

@Kenzie,
Did you try Clonezilla live 3.1.3-16?

Gilles has tested the improved version 3.1.3-16, and he confirmed the issue is gone:
