clonezilla partition, ntfsclone reports read_all: No such file or directory

[Kirk R. Holz]

I used Clonezilla to back up an NTFS partition "sda3".
I've copied the partition to a linux 6TB raid, and discovered I need to get just one directory back from the partition.

I have already gunzip decompressed the Clonezilla image, then:

  ntfsclone --restore-image -o restored.img sda3.ntfs-img.ntfsclone 
  ntfsclone v2013.1.13 (libntfs-3g)

  ERROR(2): read_all: No such file or directory

I still get a result the right size (492709 MB)
But I can't mount it:

  mount -o loop -t ntfs-3g restored.img /mnt/loop
  Failed to read last sector (962320383): Invalid argument
  HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet,
     or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...),
     or a wrong device is tried to be mounted,
     or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS),
     or the NTFS boot sector is corrupt (NTFS size is not valid).
  Failed to mount '/dev/loop0': Invalid argument
  The device '/dev/loop0' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
  Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
  partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
