New SSD just arrived so I can make small images on Windows 10.
Clonezilla doesn't play well when trying to put an image taken from a 500 GB drive and putting it on a 250 GB drive, even when the data is only 40 GB.
I hate CloneZilla for this. I have tried this multiple times and have NEVER gotten it to work correctly going to a smaller drive. There are supposed to be options for this, but never be enable to make it work.
Ditto, that's why I have a new small drive just for this. 120 GB SSD.

@JaredBusch @Dashrender I always resized it with gparted before imaging, crush it down as small as I could.
http://gparted.org/ <-- commonly found in a lot of distros live cd's

I've done this before, but when you use the Save_Disk or Restore_Disk options, it doesn't seem to care about partition sizes, it only cares about the physical disk size. I suppose I could re-pull each image as it's individual partition, but then the system probably wouldn't expand to use the rest of the disk as I want typically want either.

Right. this is the problem. I have shunk partitions. imaged to file and everything else I could think of. it ALWAYS fails

So it detects the size of the disk and not the partition? Boourns.

I can just image a single partition and restore it, and it will do that. but if want the disk to disk (just resized) it will not do it.

Single partition doesn't really work today. Windows usually requires 2 or more partitions. So to make life easy, you just want to grab the whole disk, and restore the same.
I've used other paid tools in the past (partition magic comes to mind) and they work fine. I'm frankly a bit surprised this functionality hasn't been updated in Clonezilla.

Right. just saying that CloneZilla performs that task as stated just fine.

Drove as far north west as you can in Nicaragua today until we got to the point that the car could not go any further. Turned around and ended up going down a long empty stretch of road to a dirt road that we could barely make it down and finding..... a gated private resort at the end of it! So we got a room and ate at the fancy restaurant on the water, had some drinks, took the resort shuttle to their private ocean beach which was the best I've ever found anywhere, watched the sun go down with the kids, then took the shuttle back and swam with the kids in the infinity pool with the moon rising over the bay. In the room in the resort now. Internet is not the best here, but at least I am mostly online.

With a setting like that,... turn the computer off and enjoy the time with the family. It'll all still be here later.

Looking out of my office window at dark, grey, miserable clouds and dreaming of being on a private ocean beach and watching the sun set.

Got up at a quarter after five and found the four year old laying in bed, awake. She was watching the sun rise. She said "There is something happening with the sun!"
-
I am not sitting out on the balcony watching the sun rise from behind eight volcanoes across the bay.
-
Right now. @dominica has come out to join me now as well. Both kids are awake watching the sunrise.
