    Hey there Clonezilla people

    first time user of Clonezilla and I was so impressed with it that I set up a Clonezilla server at work. Found some very helpful "how to's" on the interweb for it, although it was for an earlier version of Clonezilla and Ubuntu , and everything works fine ….. well .. almost.

    The machine i chose is a GX620 that has a 40GB and a 1TB HDD.

    PXE boot works nice and I can backup and restore computers with out any problems.
    But I would like to store my backup images on the other internal HDD. The 1TB one.

    And according to the instructions on "sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush -i"  /media/ does not work to store images some place else and I can't seem to find any instructions on how to store the Clonezilla images on the 1TB HDD.

    So I look to you the Clonezilla nation , can I call it that ? , for help.

    Thanks.

    I did a similar thing when my Clonezilla server ran out of storage and  I had to get an image onto some machines. It's hacky I know but I mounted an external HDD as normal, where it resided in /media/ I then used mount to bind the contents of the HDD to the /home/partimag/

    mount -bind /media/externalHDD /home/partimag

    I could then image using images from the HDD, and when I was done just un-mounted the volume and the normal contents of /home/partimag were back. Hacky I know, can't say I didn't warn you!

    Cheers,
    Tom
