I am new to clonezilla and I am trying it out. What I need to do is to completly backup a HDD with WinXP into a \\server_name\share_name location.
Following the step-by-step I get to te part where I select location to save and I choose SAMBA. Then I follow all the instruction to mount the samba server where I type info where I wanna save stuff and in the end when requested for pw. it shows me the msg:
"Mouting samba server by:
mount -t cifs -o username="rcabral,domain=esg.local" //server_name/share_name /home/partimag
Password:
[4161.668517] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to IPv4 socket. Aborting operation
[4161.673856] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -111
mount erro 111 = connection refused
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
Clonezilla image home directory /home/partimag is not a mounting point! Failed to mount other device as /home/partimag!"
I have also followed the instruction to manual mount the drive but the same happens. within windows/MAC/ubuntu I am able to mount and write to this share.
Can anyone help?

Thanks for the reply Steven.
I know the network path user and pass are correct cause I can do it from other OS.
Do I have to create any special folder or path in the smb share?
Do you have or can do a step by step for smb? so it will show the correct path formats to use?

You have to create the corresponding path on your samba server, otherwise the mount will fail.
The dir on your samba server does not have to be /home/partimag, but the mounting point on Clonezilla live system should be /home/partimag.
Hope this helps.

i manage to make work. The issue was on my eth0 setup.
But I have another query (sorry about that) but when I try to restore the img when I point the path where the image is should I point the folder where the image is in or the biggest file inside that folder?

The problem in my case is that the samba server i was mounting was behind couple of switches and I had to configure the eth0 with the correct proxy gateway within initial eth0 config. If you leave it at dhcp it would come up with ip error but at 3rd try it would get the correct setup.
The most important is to get the eth0 correctly setup. Later if you still have problems connecting I advise to get into terminal mode and ping the target...
thanks all

Are you sure you have permission to mount your Samba server ? Are the path, username, and others correct ?
Please double check that.
Steven.
