Simon, Sorry to hear that. However, by default Clonezilla will _NOT_ delete any files on the target directory when you save an image on that. It will just mount the target media as /home/partimag then save the image on that. Did you remember the steps you have done? Did you interrupt when Clonezilla saves an image? If you can provide more info, I think we might have some way to show some warning messages to avoid that.
