Ubuntu 14.04 LTS has packages clonezilla 3.5.2 and partclone 0.2.51 But a default shipped configuration file needs a patch to make these versions work together:

But preventing normal users from making image backups of their disks does not computer security either, to say the least. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98886 Title: [needs-packaging] drbl / clonezilla To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/98886/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
