I made a partition image of my system (I surmise) and need to restore it. I would like to identify the menu choices I made, but it is too complicated. Eventually I was presented with a file with "IMG" on the end and selected it as the repository. Somewhere in the stream of menus I selected as destination of restored image "sdb2". I used "beginner mode" I selected "restoredisk", and proceeded through menus until I got a message that it could not be restored. So I started over and selected "restorePartition"....

Hi! Ok, so I have tried the above strategy. I have used every menu combination I could think of, and designated both the clone and the empty partition as "/home/partimage", and no matter what I do, I am never invited to "restore" my files. I am flummoxed. Since i am doing this in Live mode, I cannot give you screen shots. Otherwise I would show you how confusing the instructions are. I know you don't get paid much, if at all. But now I am stuck, my files all locked up in data blocks that I can't...

Moreover, if Clonezilla did not force me to "restore" to a partition on a different drive from the drive on which the clone is stored, I could designate a partition on my huge 6 terrabyte drive, where the clone is stored, and "restore" to it. Then copying back to my active /home drive would not be so difficult. I do have some other blank drives, so I think I'll try to fool Clonezilla into "restoring" to another drive.

Restoring files from backup clone to non-equal partition.
