[Clonezilla-live] General Question: remote imaging of encrypted EXT4 partitions
Hi all, I'm using Clonezilla to make periodically image backups of my OpenSuse VPS. Booting VPS with Clonezilla, imnage to be stored via ssh to my local OpenSuse PC, at home. Finally to an external USB hdd. Images are additionaly, to regular delta-based rsnapshot backups. File systems are all ext4, except small boot partition. Recognized that Clonezilla is able to send only data for "used" disk space via network, for unecrypted disks, makes it much faster. Had to image my company laptop, win10, encrypted hdd, all NTFS, once. 1 TB hdd, only 300+ GB in use. Not 100% sure, but AFAI remember Clonezilla sent all 1 TB. But I'm sure that clonezilla didn't ask for a passphrase to unlock. Reasonable, as some proprietary enc. solution on that laptop. My question, not tested: For an encrypted (LUKS) hdd on Linux, LVM/EXT4, is Clonezilla also sending the while disk via network? Or unlocking first before imaging, and sending only the used blocks? Regards, stay healthy! Michael ___ Clonezilla-live mailing list Clonezilla-live@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clonezilla-live
[Clonezilla-live] Recovery suddenly stops, after 20+h normal working
Hi all, clonezilla-live-2.6.7-28-amd64.iso OpenSuse 15.2, 4TB USB 3.0 HDD, ext4, user mounted, with a Clonezilla image on it, 1TB Win10. My target is to restore this Win10 image (NTFS-formatted, encrypted disk) into a VM. Tried as follows: - Created a new VM on the USB 3.0 hdd - Should "boot from DVD" => clonezilla-live-2.6.7-28-amd64.iso - added new, "empty" 1 TB virtual HDD. Type one file, to be expanded as needed. - booted from Clonezilla live, Clonezilla boot option "to ram, media can be removed later". - /home/partimag set to SSH server, connecting from VM to Host. Result: Recovery ran fine for more than ~20 hrs, Clonzilla/"Partclone" progress bar shows 75% done, 25% left. Today, suddenly, Clonezilla stopped writing. usb hdd went into sleep mode, after that. Clonezilla although still counting elapsed/remaining time and transfer rate.. Even counting after I've now suspended and resumed the VM, to test. Any hints what to do? FYI on this usb 3.0 hdd is also a clonezilla installed, older version, separate bootable partition. I'm using this for years now, to boot from and take images of my OpenSuse Leap system, from time to time. Imaging and restoring (tested, of course :-)) works fine. Win10 image was also taken with this older Clonezilla, restored to same hardware for test, also fine. Only restore to vm fails, any hints why?

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Boot issues
Hi Eero, thank you very much for answering to my question. Unfortunately your mentioned blog entry describes exactly the other direction (legacy to uefi). I instead need some sort of "downgrade" (uefi to legacy), as my Clonezilla Live HDD is not detected as bootable by an older NON-UEFI-enabled laptop.

[Clonezilla-live] Boot issues
Hi all! I'm using Clonezilla for years now for my own OpenSuse box. Created a bootable USB 3.0 HDD for this. One small FAT boot partition for Clonezilla. Another large EXT4 partition for Clonezilla images and other backups (rsnapshot and BackInTime) Tried the same layout for an older laptop (Acer Aspire 7200G) with separate USB HDD, but the Clonezilla Live images (both) are not recognized as bootable by the Acer Aspire. I'm convinced that this has nothing to do with Clonezilla itself, but the laptop. I believe it has something to do that the Clonezilla images are using UEFI boot, which probably the old laptop couldn't do. So I'm asking for hints how get an USB HDD bootable the "legacy" way with/for Clonezilla Live.
