It should work. What error message did you have?
BTW, please also give testing Clonezilla live a try? i.e., >= 3.3.1-29 or 20260202-*:
https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
There are some changes related to LUKS, too.

Backup sdb2, sdb3, open luks sdb3 with password.

The LUKS mapper device name was not found in this file: /dev/sdb3 .......

If i reboot the restored system i get

The same problem with clonezilla-live-3.3.1-29-amd64.iso .

If i use Clonezilla Backup without "luks-open", than Clonezilla save sdb3 bit by bit, i can start the system.

How can i solve the problem?

[Steven Shiau]

I need the environment to reproduce this issue.
Please tell me how to setup/install the Linux system in detail so that I can reproduce this issue here. Once it's reproducible, this issue can be fixed.
