Restore fails on iMac Late 2015
A partition and disk imaging/cloning program

I installed a tripple boot with Windows 8.1 Pro, OSX 10.11.4, clonezilla live(-hd) on a iMac 21,5" Late 2015.
My Installation is a bit special:
So gdisk tells me I got a plain gpt partition table with a protective mbr.
I took the disk-image to restore the same computer (another iMac with the exact same configuration) and restored it.
During the restore, gdisk tells me I got a gpt with protective mbr and the 6 partitons -> everything looks fine.
When ocs-restore finished I got a gpt with -hybrid- mbr..
Result:
What I already tried:
Is there any option I am missing or is it not possible to recover such kind of partition table?
Did you try Clonezilla live 2.4.6-8 or 20160412-*?

There are some improvements. Maybe it works for you.
//NOTE// Backup important data before you use Clonezilla. Just in case.

Yes 2.4.6-8 worked, thank you!
Is there a relase plan for the new version?
I have a rather big installation with about 300 computers here and am a bit afraid rolling out the testing version.

If it works for you, just use it. The reason it's still testing release is, we need to get more feedbacks and bug reports. Since it works there, I do not see any reason why you can not use that to deploy your 300 computers.
