Good day!
I have used Clonezilla Live Stable 2.6.2-15 i686-pae for creating a backup of entire SSD disk. Backup was created using these settings.
Images were checked, and they were created correctly.
Then I restored my SSD disk from created image using Beginner mode - accept the default options.
Unfoutunatelly, after reboot I have noticed 90 second boot delay, and GParted showed, that SWAP partition (/dev/sda1) has not been restored at all! Fdisk and lsblk showed the same thing.
I have looked at forum, and found similar problems here and here.
After reading this post I looked at photos (i took photos while image was restored), and according to them, Clonezilla refused to restore SWAP. And similar photo from second restore attempt. After finding SWAP partition it probes sda with blockdev before restoring EBR... It does not run mkswap at all!
Some related files: swappt-sda1.info, sda-pt.sf.
My System information
Please help! I had this problem in 2016, then again at the end of 2017, then again now!

This is weird... for this line:

There is no any partition with type 82 (linux-swap). All 83.
Maybe the culprit is in the source disk, because it's not correctly set the type for swap partition?

Maybe it is Q4OS Installer bug. But, after 90 seconds delays, I was forced to remove SWAP partition completely. I will check this, but not now. Maybe it is better to partition disk manually using GParted, rather than rely on Installer utility.
