Re: [Clonezilla-live] Is it safe to interrupt a Clonezilla Live imaging process?

[<jum...@hu...>]

Thanks! I found that my mistake was to use partclone instead of
ntfsclone, because in an older version of Clonezilla, ntfsclone was
the default option, so I assumed it still was the default option, but
the newest version changed things a bit.

About what you said: Clonezilla gives dire warnings about how a USB
hard drive might not be usable if the computer is improperly shut down
during the Clonezilla process. Could this really happen? I would never
improperly shut it down myself intentionally, but if the power fails
during the process, it's out of my control.

If something like that happened, would the USB drive become a
permanent doorstopper, or is there still a way to make it usable
again? Will I lose any other data that's already stored on the USB
drive?
