Hi,

I was able to capture an image with clonezilla-live-2.6.7-28-amd64, but I then renamed the image folder name to comply our internal file naming convention which includes the following characters: '.' and '('

example: productX-2021-11-01-(v6.20.0.0)

If I then try to restore the image using the new folder name, it fails with a vague error. If I replace the '(' and '.' characters by '-'. then the restore works. I noticed that having <spaces> in the folder name is also a bad idea. </spaces>

Can someone confirm if this behavior is a limitation or by design? Are there any other characters that are not supported?

By default we accept the image (dir) name with only:
alphabet, digit, _, - and .
