Hi Steven,

Thank you for answer, but frankly I don’t understand it.

I use Clonezille as a live USB stick and it works perfectly fine.

I created disk image backup from Centos 7 server with XFS file system, the image was restorable (as it was checked by clonezilla at the end).

Now the issue is that I can’t restore this image using clonezilla, so I was really hoping that program like you wrote will allow me to mount the image and restore the files “manually” – I need some catalogs, that is all.

Is there any way I can get into this backup and restore important files?

Best regards,

Andrzej

Now the issue is that I can’t restore this image using clonezilla

Please explain your issue fully with as much detail as possible, it is probably an easy fix.

Hi,

thanks again for your time, I will try to explain, but a lot of info you can see in the logs attached.

My friend runs a small business, has an old HP ML110 G6 server – no RAID controller, just plain 4 SATA HDDs.

He asked me to check the condition last week – I started with full drive image with latest stable Clonezilla, booted from USB stick.

I choosed to check if the backups were restorable and yes, at the end there was such confirmation (see screen attached).

First of all I’m not Linux guy.

HP server did not report any errors, HDD missing, etc. during the boot or normal operation.

Looking at the Clonezilla logs I see that there were 4 x 500GB HDDs connected in software RAID 10, using LVM and Volume Groups.

It looks like 1 drive was already dead at the time I made backup.

Server was Centos 7, with SAMBA and ZIMBRA on XFS partitions.

I don’t need to restore entire server – all I need is to take SAMBA and ZIMBRA files.

I tried many times to restore the backup, but I get different error messages – basically the restore doesn’t even start.

As I read to restore LVM and VG backups there is a manual intervention/ modification required – but this is beyond me.

That is why I had so much hope I will be able to retrieve files or folder using some other utility, like yours.

Let me know if I should explain anything more.

Thanks a lot for your effort,

Andrzej

You cannot attach logs when replying from email, we cannot see them.

Looking at the Clonezilla logs I see that there were 4 x 500GB HDDs connected in software RAID 10, using LVM and Volume Groups.

Did you backup the volume? Or the individual drives? If the volume then simply restore to any single drive. If the drives then try to create a identical LVM on similar drives and try restoring to them.

Hi again,

Sorry for the delay, I’m trying different ways to solve the issue.

Below is just one of the errors I got:

target_parts is NOT assigned in function task_restoreparts.

Program terminated!.

"ocs-live-general" finished with error!

Check /var/log/clonezilla.log for more details.

I will paste more the Clonezilla error messages, but I will have to try to restore again to recreate.

But let me tell you – I tried every option I could – restore disks, restore partitions, restore to 1 2 multiple disks, every feasible option.

I used different drives - 500GB, 1TB, 3TB drive (entire array even in RAID 10 could not have more than 2 TB (4x500GB)).

Please allow me to paste some of the logs below – if you can please take a look, you are an expert, maybe this will help to direct me:

You cannot attach logs when replying from email, we cannot see them.

Looking at the Clonezilla logs I see that there were 4 x 500GB HDDs connected in software RAID 10, using LVM and Volume Groups.

Did you backup the volume? Or the individual drives? If the volume then simply restore to any single drive. If the drives then try to create a identical LVM on similar drives and try restoring to them.
