Setting up CloneZilla Server in Ubuntu 12.04

I'm usign Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. After DRBL installation you need to setup the server. I am using two network cards, 1 for my internet connection the other one is for Clonezilla Server. In the upper right side of your Ubuntu desktop click the network indicator and then choose edit connection

Then choose Wired connection 2 because the Wired connection 1 is for my internet access, then click edit

after you click edit choose IPV4 Settings Method should be manual then click add and then save.
Address: 192.168.1.254
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168..254

Next go to you terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) type sudo drblsrv -i

After the drblsrv installation type sudo drblpush -i

I choose the default option. If the following wont work try drbl4imp
Note: type: nano /etc/rc.local and at the end of the file, add drbl-all-service start, save and exit

Clonezilla and GParted: Restoring Image From a Bigger Disk to a Smaller Disk

I'm using: GParted, Ubuntu 12.04, Clonezilla Server

Copy image file from a 500GB to a 320GB Hard Disk. Make sure that the files in 500GB should not exceed in 280GB. First thing you will do is reduce 500GB drive using gparted to 280GB. Next Save the newly created file to your clonezilla server. Then restore the file using the expert or advance mode, same steps on how to restore the image, then you will be shown this image

just choose ok, then in the image below choose -k

next just choose the default settings or just press enter, and your image is ready to be restored.
