Hi guys!
I have seen there seems to be issues with ultrabooks and a usb3 network Connection...

I have gone another way and run a live cd and saved the files to a USB drive...

I would like to move these files to my server...Is there any issues with moving them? I need the USB flash drive and usually have all images on my server...

This customer has gone through some crap with her laptop and getting it fixed twice on guarantee...just want to be able to return the image to her computer if it plays up again...

Hi again!
Are there any issues moving files from a USB to ta server when one has used the live cd to save them...?

You can just copy the image dir to your server. That's all. Nothing special.

Hi Steven!
Thanks for the info....one thing I noticed is the home/partimag folder is owned by root and not me...so I changed the ownership of the folder I transferred to the server...

Hi Steven!
I am getting problems moving my images around...I changed the rights from Root to me for partimag....but all folders in partimag are still owned by root...

According to the rights I own all folders recursive in partimag....but this doesn't appear to be so.....

The script that runs for copying image from client to server is there somewhere it is automatically root? Can I change this?

Hi Bookie56,
You have to use root permission to copy/migrate the files. Otherwise it won't work.

I know this is old but I have forgotten...
Sometimes I have to use clonezilla live to create an image of the laptop I am working on...
I save the image to a USB and then copy that over to my server.....
Problem is I become the owner of the directory instead of root and get errors when trying to backup from server to server....
I ran a chmod command but can't remember what....I ran chmod...-r...../home/partimag....to change all files so that they can be moved to another server...
What do I need to do to make root owner of everything in /home/partimag?
Obviously the images created by clonezilla server edition automatically are owned by root....it is the ones I am moving to server that have me as owner that is the problem...

chown -R user:group /home/partimag... will change the owner and group of all files/directories.
You will need to run this as root or use sudo.
