THANK YOU! That worked, and I am installing it on all my machines, even the ones without RAID arrays.

Thanks. I'm working on recovery from a system failure, but will try that when I can. (Being 81 years old, some stuff goes more slowly than I remember.....)

Thanks for the links. But I am unsure how to proceed I downloaded the git repo. I didn't see instructions on building. I'm on Xubuntu (debian-based). I looked at your link to a binary one, but was also unsure how to proceed with that -- would a binary work on my system (AMD64), and if so, which of the several things tagged 0.3.36 should I be using? Is clonezilla a standalone? I want something I can write scripts for, and run on my server without taking it down. I will look into it a bit more, but...

I don't see any activity on this. It continues to be a problem, so I gathered a bit more information, using a more up-to-date OS. I hope this in enough info to help narrow down what you need to look for. The OS (as reported by /etc/os-release (in part) PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS" VERSION="24.04.2 LTS (Noble Numbat)" The version of partclone in use as reported by partclone.ext4 -v Partclone : v0.3.27 (0882b2de94f05d3ad81304872cbd3dff02105239) The command I'm using: partclone.ext4 --clone --rescue...

Oops, I missed your reply asking for more information. I use the partclone in Ubuntu. I do not use clonezilla. I use partclone as part of a larger script of my own making, so I did not think clonezilla would be helpful.

Thanks @steven_shiau . My LTS versions (Ubuntu) only go up to 0.3.17. The new LTS should come out soon, and I'll try again.

I'm on Ubuntu Focal (20.04.6 LTS) trying to back up my RAID partition. The partition mounts just fine, and passes fsck. I'm using partclone v0.3.13 because that's what is in this distribution. The partition is unmounted when I attempt the backup, and here's the relevant part of lsblk -o +fstype output: sda 8:0 0 16.4T 0 disk linux_raid_member └─md127 9:127 0 32.8T 0 raid5 └─md127p1 259:0 0 32.8T 0 part ext4 sdb 8:16 0 16.4T 0 disk linux_raid_member └─md127 9:127 0 32.8T 0 raid5 └─md127p1 259:0 0...

Partclone makes zero progress backing up my RAID partition
