I a fit of carelessness I accidentally copied my drive rather than making an image of it. This wouldn't be to much of an issue, except the drive I copied it to is significantly bigger (120gb vs 980gb). Now I need to transfer it back and I was wondering what the best way to do it is. Should I use something like gparted to resize the larger drive, is there a linux command to copy things en-mass that would be preferable or should I disable clonezila's size checking (if it's the last one how do I do that, I've been using the graphical version).
Sorry for the trouble, and thank you.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Clonezilla does not support cloning thelarger disk to smaller one very well. However, it's possible you can make it by partition to partition clone. Just remember that the destination partition must be equal to or larger than the source one.
