Hello guys,
i accidentally attempted to restore a clonezilla disk image to the wrong disk using this preconfigured grub menu item:
set isofile="/clonezilla/clonezilla-live-2.6.0-37-amd64.iso"
loopback loop (hd2,5)$isofile
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live live-config noswap nolocales union=overlay edd=on nomodeset ocs_prerun=“mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt” ocs_prerun1=“mount --bind /mnt/clonezilla /home/partimag/” ocs_live_run=“ocs-sr -e1 auto -e2 -r -batch -j2 -nogui -v -scr -p poweroff restoredisk sdc-rolling-backup sdc” ocs_live_extra_param="" keyboard-layouts="" ocs_live_batch=“yes” locales="" vga=788 ip=frommedia nosplash toram=filesystem.squashfs findiso=$isofile
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img
for whatever reason, sdc was not recognized during POST and sdd temporarily took its place. clonezilla threw an error warning of the disk/image size mismatch and asked for confirmation to continue which is where i declined with a reboot. The disk contained a total of 5 partitions of various sizes, all of them veracrypt encrypted but now shows up as a single disk in the vc gui.
i’m looking for experienced advice on cloning a disk comprised of several veracrypt encrypted partitions before i attempt recovery with testdisk or other tools. i’m too new to linux and veracrypt to confidently tackle this so detailed steps would be appreciated.
