Hi,

I installed Clonezilla to my proxmox and wanted to back up my server from physical to virtual. It has 4 drives with 4 OSs. But so far I did this with only one drive in virtual machine - all worked fine.

Now, in the system/virtual machine, I created (proxmox) 4 drives to copy those 4 different OSs with clonezilla.
I copied them as whole disks. (Interestingly enough, they change names in clonezilla - the original physical server sould be sda-100gb/sdb-90gb/sdc-80gb/sdd-70gb - but clonezilla shows me list of disks available and mixes them up, so for example 100gb is shown as second/sdb, or 70gb sdd is shown as sda in clonezilla - why? Can something be done on proxmox or clonezilla side to copy exactly namewise to the particula drives as it suppose to be?)
When I start/boot from first one, it shows me error that it cannot boot. Not sure why - after not using clonezilla in boot order, so I would be able to boot the OS.

Also not sure if it is clonezilla problem/some settings while copying or Proxmox or not. So I am writing to both forums, just in case.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
