sda1.img : Cannot open the file as archive - Win11 - probably 7zip lib problem

Thanks for your nice tool. It looks it is exact what I am looking for, but unfortunately it is not working for me.

The clonezilla-img files on a pastebin like service:

Same Error, when i use the following command and try to open sda1.img with 7-zip, NanaZip or PeaZip.

.\clonezilla-util.exe mount-as-image-files --input D:\2023-05-08-1315-img-rescuezilla-kay-kevin-disk2\ --mount L:\

PeaZip returned: no match - additional info: Archive may not be valid (due missing, corrupted, or out of
standard data), it is possible to run Test for detailed information.
If archiveis table of content is encrypted, password is needed
before browsing it.

Can it be that between creation of the clonezilla image and now the file has been coruppted? I could probably compare current checksum and the one created after the initial backup. The image creation was successfull and with resuezilla i could also browse everything. The backuped harddrives where very old. The current ones are fine. Just checked with CrystalDiskInfo.

Thanks Mack,

Could you please run the mount-as-image-files command again, then send me a screenshot of the beginning of sda1.img using a Hex Editor. If you don't have one, HxD is good.

Thanks!

I realize this is a closed issue, but I am also having this issue. the beginning is basically all 0's (I saved it as an uncompressed image, if it helps)

I attempted to use this tool right after creating the backup, and clonezilla did say it was restorable. The original filesystem was ext4
