Hello, I am trying to restore an image of a 300 Gb drive (with 30 Gb of data) onto a 250 Gb drive, but it gives me an error that the output drive partition doesn't have enough space to fit the image. Is there any way to restore it anyway?

  Thanks for asking that. I put the answer in the FAQ:

  Thanks. Will Clonezilla ever be able to support this? I only have 250 Gb drives atm to restore it onto and the 300 Gb origional drive is toast :(

    Maybe, we will try to make it in the future release. However, it will take a long time.
