Hi Steven Shiau!!!

Thank you very much for the amazing product,It works like a charm!!

I have configured Unattended backup and restoration solution using Clonezilla server except one little issue.
While saving image, when its checking the saved image, its displays message that
"image is saved using old clonezilla version,but the image will be able to restore.
Press enter to continue "

I would like to skip this "Press enter to continue" part after checking the saved image for complete unattended backup process.

I would not like to upgrade clonezilla for now,since everything is working fine.

This is the command i use:
drbl-ocs -b -q2 -j2 -p poweroff -z1p -i 1000000 -l en_US.UTF-8 startdisk save 2015-02-09-img sda

Any hints would be helpful..

Thanks for your support!!
Dinesh.

This is weird.
You have put "-b" option in your command:
drbl-ocs -b -q2 -j2 -p poweroff -z1p -i 1000000 -l en_US.UTF-8 startdisk save 2015-02-09-img sda
So it should be in the batch mode. Could you take a photo about the screen then post it?
Thanks.

Steven.

Hi Steven,

Thanks a lot for your immediate response.

Please attached pics for your reference.

I would like to skip this check by editing source code. Any pointer to it would be helpful. I wouldn’t like to upgrade clonezilla for now as everything is working fine.

Regards,
Dinesh.

This error should be avoided by saving the image with latest Clonezilla live again. However, if you want to skip the checking by editing source codes, you can edit the file "/usr/sbin/ocs-chkimg", just search the words "Was this image saved by older version of Clonezilla?" then you should know where to edit. To remaster the filesystem.squashfs of Clonezilla live, you can refer to:
