Are you doing a disk->image copy or disk->disk? In the disk->image
case, clonezilla should not delete anything. It should just create a
new directory of the name you give for the image and put some new files
under it. In the disk->disk mode it is going to duplicate the source
exactly and wipe out whatever was on the target just like an image->disk
run would.
