No restore option with Clonezilla
I used Clonezilla to back up the image of a disk on a Dell Inspiron PC on which I had installed Debian 7.0. I saved the images to a 2 TB Western Digital MyBook. Everything appeared to work fine. Now I would like to restore the disk. I follow the instructions here but, after choosing "Beginner Mode", I get to the screen where I should be able to choose "Restore Disk" but the only options are:
Save disk
Save parts
Exit
I can see the WD MyBook when I am running Clonezilla and I choose that as the source of the image. I also followed the solution posted here and set up the directory structure on the MyBook as follows.
C:/MyBook/AppServerCloneZilla/2014-06-09-00-imgAppServer
2014-06-09-00-imgAppServer contains the clonezilla-img list file. It doesn't matter whether I choose the top directory of the MyBook or I choose /CloneZillaBackup/, I only get the 3 options listed above. I never get the option to "Restore Disk".
Solution 1:
OK. It appears I have solved the problem. It seems that Clonezilla doesn't like too many subdirectories. I moved 2014-06-09-00-imgAppServer up to the same level as AppServerCloneZilla. That is
C:/MyBook/2014-06-09-00-imgAppServer
Now I have the restore option.
Solution 2:
After creating the image I had changed the directory name to something I liked. But then clonezilla did not recognize the directory as image. So I changed the name so that it end with -img
(to make it look like original one) and supplied the parent directory as image source. That helped.
