Change active partition while in Clonezilla

[knockoutn336]

I'm trying to automate Clonezilla so that every time it runs, it will take a disk image from one partition, write it onto another partition, and then set the partition that was just rewritten as the active partition.

I just can't seem to find the command to set the active partition in Clonezilla / Debian, or find out if it's even possible from Clonezilla live.

Thanks

Also the entire process I was trying to plan involved automatically restoring an image of Windows 7 onto the main partition. 

At the end of every week, Task Scheduler in Windows 7 would to set a partition with Clonezilla as the active partition then reboot.  Then in Clonezilla I would copy the image of Windows from a storage partition onto the partition with Windows 7.  Finally, I would set the freshly copied installation of Windows 7 as the active partition again.

This might be confusing, so
partition 1 = Windows installation
partition 2 = Clonezilla
partition 3 = storage for Windows image

To make a partition active, you can use "parted" command, e.g. to make /dev/sda1 active:
# parted -s /dev/sda set 1 boot on
I am not sure if I answer all your questions. If not, please let me know.
