    Dear all,
    we have a problem with cloning disk by Clonezila (clonezilla-live-20160203-wily-amd64).
    1. We have prepared PC with one HDD which is parted to more partitions. There is installed Win10Home and AOMEI OneKey recovery. AOMEI has created partition with WIN PE and other partition with backup data. AOMEI modifies UEFI boot sequence too. After start PC there is Option "Press F11 - to run AOMEI recovery". We use UEFI boot so there is ESP partition on the HDD. All works fine but...
    2. We prepare disk image by Clonezilla (savedisk option) - no problem.
    3. If we want to restoredisk from this image the option "Press F11 - to run AOMEI recovery" after start PC is not available so we cannot run AOMEI recovery tool if it si necessary.
    4. All other works fine just this problem with restore UEFI boot sequence...

    Does anybody have any experiences with cloning HDD which contains AOMEI backup recovery partitions and use UEFI boot system?

    We have a log from clonezilla restoredisk process to sniff a problem. Below is only the part of log about a suspect EFI modification.

    Running: update-efi-nvram-boot-entry -r /home/partimag/Boxster3Win10/efi-nvram.dat -f /tmp/efi_info.iquy4c /dev/sda

    If you meant you do not want to let Clonezilla modify the EFI boot manager, you can enter expert mode, and check the option "-iefi". Then Clonezilla won't run update-efi-nvram-boot-entry.

    Steven.
