Hi everybody,
scenario: i installed a debian prototype and i would like to copy this to an other bare-metal-system.
i used the latest clonezilla to make a copy from a drive containig an RAID/LVM. The image-backup-option generated the files with drive parameters but no image.
Then i tried the partition-backup-option worked but i was unable to restore since it stumbled over UUIDs.
I am a bit lost now, did i miss something ? the whole system is debian so nothing special beside the RAID/LVM combo but UUIDs are in use since sometimes.
" Then i tried the partition-backup-option worked but i was unable to restore since it stumbled over UUIDs." -> What did you mean by this? What were the exact error messages on the screen? Please take some photos and post them. It's easier for us to understand that.

sorry for the delay, i missed the answer.
the error is:
Restoring the VG config
WARNING Couldnt find device with uuid crQxZF1JW1YIoYWrk2T1shSyDUIKP5tb
Cannot restore Volume Group sysvg with 1 PVs marked as missing
Restore failed
see attached log for the details ..
I wrote the image on server1 and tried to restore on server2, i did several attempts IMHO that should not matter.
"WARNING Couldnt find device with uuid crQxZF1JW1YIoYWrk2T1shSyDUIKP5tb
Cannot restore Volume Group sysvg with 1 PVs marked as missing" ->
The warning is just a warning. No need to worry. However, it looks like you have some PV which is required to rebuild the VG & LV. Please post the LVM related files (lvm-*) in your image dir, e.g.,
lvm_centos.conf lvm_logv.list lvm_vg_dev.list
and these files:
blkdev.list, dev-fs.list, dmraid.table, *.parted.compact
