When I try to clone my laptop's hard drive with clonezilla I get an error saying "Failed to save partition /dev/sda/2." Below is a link of the error screen:
My laptop's hard drive functions perfectly fine (except for the new bad sectors). I use it for many things and never have hard disk failure or reading/writing problems. I am not trying to rescue the data because it is already accessible. I am trying to clone the drive for easy restoration in case of disaster.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

It looks like you have hardware issue. Your hard drive has hardware problem. I suggest you use ddrescue to dump the data sector-by-sector.

Yes, in that case "ddrescue" is a better solution for you.
