    Hi!
    I backup my disk with clonezilla. I have lvm+luks system. When i backup, clonezilla ask me set my LUKS password and i did this.
    Now my system crash and i wanna restore.
    When i try to restore i got messages on photo. Restored only UEFI and boot patritions. Clonezilla want recovery my root partition. Can you help me please? Why clonezilla skip my /dev/nvme0n1p3?
    My log
    https://pastebin.com/q8DTVtsK

    So, i checked my backup image and get:
    luks header file not found

    It's same problem.

    So. I found in resycle my smb share empty files nvme0n1p3-luksHeader.bin 0 bytes with today date.
    I have old backup on September 2023, and copy file nvme0n1p3-luksHeader.bin to image folder and finally recover my system.
    FIX THIS BUG!!!

    Thanks for your feedback.
    So how did you save that image? Which version of Clonezilla live did you use to save that?
    Please describe more steps, or share the plain text file "clonezilla-img" in the image dir you have.

    Hi. Clonezilla 3.1.2.9, i use samba with beginner mode.
    When i use local storage for backup - file nvme0n1p3-luksHeader.bin created and have 16mb size.
    When samba - file was deleted by clonezilla (i see in recycle) and have 0 bytes size.

    Thanks for your feedback.
    "When samba - file was deleted by clonezilla" -> Could you please let us know Clonezilla did that during which step?
