How can I restore those *-ptcl-img.* images into a file manually ? Say if your image is /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/, and the image is /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/hda2.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.aa, hda2.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.ab..., and you want to restore the image to a file hda2.img which you can mount later. Before you do it, make sure the disk space is big enough for you to store this image file "hda2.img". Now you can run: "file /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/hda2.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.aa" to see it's gzip, bzip or lzop image. Say it's gzip, then you can run 1. cd /home/partimag/YOURIMAGE/ 2. touch hda2.img 3. cat dir/hda2.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.* |gzip -d -c | partclone.restore -C -s - -o hda2.img (For partclone newer than version 0.1.1-3, partclone.restore was improved so that you do not have to touch hda2.img first)
