Hi, it would be helpful to be able to select the hard disk source and destination by name; my hard disks are formatted with ext4 and all have names. Unfortunately, clonezilla throws the hard disk names sda, sdb, etc. at me.

What did you mean by name? Label or?
Actually it's shown in the TUI, e.g.,
https://clonezilla.org//clonezilla-live/doc/01_Save_disk_image/images/ocs-10-2-disk-selection.png
Or you meant different thing?

The name shown in GParted, or Parted, is actually not really unique in a machine. Different partitions might have same name... When in saving mode, it might be OK to use that. However, when restoring, things might be complicated...

I only meant for the back-up, I hadn't made myself clear

Thanks for your feedback. OK, this is a wishlist. Maybe in the future we will implement that.
