    The system i have is about 23gb, I have cloned the drive to 3 img files "4gb each"
    The question is: Can i do a automated restore dvd with clonezilla-SysRecsCD? there will be 3dvds for the images.
    When i put the dvd in my drive i want it to restore my computer, only thing i want is a promt the sys are you realy sure... y/n then after the first dvd is finished i want it to display insert next dvd or cd to continue and so on...

    Is there maybe a script for my needs?

      Not really.
      This is the limitation of clonezilla so far.
      The only workaround now is you can copy all of them  into a dir to merge them as a clonezilla image.
      Sorry for that.

      I was afraid for that :/
      I hope that feature is high up on the agenda because its otherwise a extremely good product. :)

        The problem is it's not easy to make it.
        Clonezilla uses something like:
        for i in /home/partimag/*.img; do
        ...
        done
        So it will search the image in the beginning. It's possible to write a table first. However, for the next CD, you have to mount...
        Anyway, it's possible to make it, but we have to find a "neat" way to do so. Not to affect the existing one.

      Some thoughts...

      When you pick restore in clonezilla maybe there could be an option where you can type in the name of the images so clonezilla knows that there vill be more than one image to restore from.?

      Well lets say i have burnt the images to a couple of dvds, And mounted the dvd drive in /home/partimag. Wouldnt it be possible the write a script that auto unmount and remount the dvd drive? and continue with the next image in the order i have typed in clonezilla?

        Hank,
        It's possible. However, I can nod find a neat way to do that. If you know how, please let me know. A patch file is even better.

        Steven.
