Re: [Clonezilla-live] Using DD in Shell of Clonezilla?

[Richard K. <ri...@ri...>]

Hi,  When I try that command, I am getting an error.  It says:  open logfile /var/log/partclone.log error  I am using:  partclone.dd -b -s /dev/sda -o /dev/sdc.  I cannot open the log file either.  Any ideas?  I have source as SDA & destination as SDC (secondary master).

partclone.dd -b -s /dev/sda1 -o /dev/sdb1

is only for partition to partition.
For disk to disk, you can:

partclone.dd -b -s /dev/sda -o /dev/sdb
