Hello,

I need to retrieve a configuration file from within a file system backed up in a Clonezilla partition image.

I no longer have the source machine of the backup, but I need to recover an essential configuration file.

Is it possible to open the image like an archive and extract a file from it?

    Hello,

    Yes, it's possible, you just need to mount the image.

    What distribution are you using, Linux or Windows now?

    Where is your distribution located?

    Can you post a screenshot of your image window, or indicate its location and I will give you the commands?

    Thank you for your help.

    I can be on any distribution via a VM.

    I'm on Debian, I've extracted the archive and now I have a .ext4-ptcl-img file.

    However, I need to be able to read what's inside...

      If you have properly decompressed it, then all that's left to do is mount it.

       mount -o loop -t ext4 ptcl-img /mnt
