/hda2 is the partition I want to image
/hda3/Images is the folder on another partition (same drive) that stores the images (i also keep an image copy on my server)
So I edited syslinux.cfg to do this in a semi-automated way, and the restore works great, however when I try to make an image it fails. I can't tell why it's failing as the screen is scrolling text fora bout 5 or 6 seconds and I'm assuming the error is off screen somewhere. Can any see a reason why my .cfg (below) is failing to image? Also, if there's a way to save the screen text please let me know. Should I just invoke the command manually and pipe it to a text file?
Thanks in advance!

Oh, and my actual .cfg is "ask_user" for the image name under Backup Image, not "asu_user". Also, is there a way to automatically bypass my needing to press Y and Y twice when it's asking me if I "really" want to restore the image? I know it's a safety measure but I'm not all that concerned with it as I have so many image backups.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
"is there a way to automatically bypass my needing to press Y and Y twice " -> replace the option "-c" with "-b", i.e.
ocs_live_run="ocs-sr -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -b -r -j2 -k -p poweroff restoreparts ask_user sda2"
