Using this ISO : clonezilla-live-20240624-oracular-amd64.iso
Clonezilla is run via USB stick boot on win10 desktopPC with OS on m.2 NVME SSD. All the steps complete fine and there is activity on the connected external USB HDD and progress of saving the image is on screen.
**After power-down however the USB HDD folder for clonezilla is empty when checked on other PC!
Why is that happening?
Thanks,
Gert

Are you sure the image is saved in the mounted image repository? How did you mount your USB flash drive? Please describe all of your steps in detail so that we can help you.

Start with PC power off all devices unplugged.
Insert USB3 stick with clonezilla boot.
Power up PC, hit function key to enter boot menu
Select USB3 stick for boot
Boot clonezilla
Chose usual settings of operation
When prompted insert external USB HDD (ntfs format 2T disk)
Once ready chose device id of external USB HDD for partition backup
Chose M.2 NVME SSD (installed internally on PC motherboard) as source drive
Launch copy
Copy runs for appreciable time and shows the usual progress bars on screen
Copy finishes and claims it is done without errors
Exit to shell and 'shutdown' PC
Unplug external USB HDD
Connect external USB HDD to other (win10) PC
The target folder chosen in clonezilla for the image is empty.
The same above steps have been previously completed on other PC (Win7 desktop and Win10 laptop) using same USB HDD. A folder with the image data was showing meaningful & expected content. (note other win7 PC and win10 laptop have sata SSD not m.2 nvme ssd)
Cheers,

Before you reboot/shutdown the machine, please enter command line prompt, and check if the image repository (/home/partimag/) is still mounted by running:
mount
If it is, you can run:
find /home/partimag/ -print
to see the results. Please show the results to us.
BTW, the log file /var/log/clonezilla.log contains many info, so please also share that with us.
