Trying Clonezilla 1.2.5-17 did not properly for backup/restore VMFS. The backup
and restore process seems to go well, but the partition schema does not match
nor is there any matching data in the VMFS partition. Unfortunately, there are
no mount.vmfs tools in Clonezilla to actually see if I can mount the partition.
Yet, the new ESXI server box does boot but does not retain any information from
what was believed to be backup.

Has anyone tried backing up their VMWare ESX/ESXi server using Clonezilla?
Is it possible to use Clonezilla to backup the VMWare ESX/ESXi server and
restore it on a larger storage and resize proportionally?
Not really. Clonezilla can backup and restore the VMWare ESX/ESXi server, but
it won't resize the file system. Unless you know a tool to resize the file
system, like resize2fs to ext2/3/4.
Steven.
Thanks.
