Hello, just update to the last version of clonezilla live and i have found a odd bug.

When i try to restore an image Clonezilla wont restore it because after the check it report a corrupted image. After several tried i found the issue, seems some characters can't be used:

For example, all my images are renamed like this:
backup_(14_oct_2023)_pc_01

Clonezilla do not accpet the (, infact after removing both ( and ) it work perfectly and the corrupt error disappear.
This issue is also not for all images, old windows xp and seven images aren't affected, only from windows 10. all my images are in MBR, do not use GPT.

Is not a breaking bug but i want to report my experience.

Thanks for your report. The character in GNU/Linux has to be escaped when it's used an a file name or directory name. This will be more complicated. Hence maybe we should add a checking mechanism to check that when you use that character as an image name.
