Locate image and go there, you will find files like: "sda1.ntfs-img.aa" and "sda1.ntfs-img.ab" ...

Find what compression has been used, gzip, bzip or lzop? 

file *.ntfs-img.aa

Note: the image you are about to extract will be sized to the original partition-size, unused space included. This can take quite some time and disk space.

Windows NTFS partition

You will need ntfsclone, install 

sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs

Lets say the compression is gzip (as it probably is), then we need to extract the image using gzip. 

sudo cat *.ntfs-img.* | gzip -d -c | ntfsclone --restore-image -o ntfs.img -

Mount with: 

sudo mkdir /media/ntfs-img
sudo mount -o loop -t ntfs ntfs.img /media/ntfs-img

Linux ext4 partition

Extract

Install partclone: 

add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main universe restricted multiverse"
apt-get update
apt-get install partclone

Lets say compression is gzip (as it probably is), then we need to extract the image using gzip:

Options:

  • -C ignore size errors
  • -F force
  • -O overwrite
  • -s <> source, specify - to use standard input (pipe)
  • -o <outputfile>
cat sda5.ext4-ptcl-img.gz.* | gzip -d -c | partclone.restore --restore_row_file -F -O -C -s - -o sda5.img

Mount/unmount with: 

mkdir /media/ubuntutje
mount -o loop -t ext4 sda5.img /media/sda5img
umount /media/sda5img

Restore

You can do this instead of using CloneZilla if you have 'geometry' errors or other problems.

Check for (mount) errors: 

dmesg | tail

Fix errors (if any) 

fsck.ext4 -f sda5.img
e2fsck -f sda5.img

Resizing the filesystem on sda5.img to minimum size. Note: this can take a lot of time 

resize2fs -M sda5.img

Restore to partition, in this example /dev/sda3. 

THIS WILL OVERWRITE THE TARGET PARTITION!! 
ALL DATA ON THAT PARTITION (/dev/sda3) WILL BE LOST!!

Note: after this only the earlier 'minimum size' of the partition is used 

partclone.restore -d -s sda5.img -o /dev/sda3

Resize partition to fit the whole available space: 

e2fsck -f /dev/sda3
resize2fs /dev/sda3
