Permissions Issues when Copying Folders from Mounted archive

[nishyp]

Hiya

Recently my partners laptop stopped booting and I used Clonezilla to make an image of the failing SSD to attempt data recovery. Everything went smoothly (minus the sectors that couldn't be read and sucked up a bunch of time) and it was all backed up onto my NAS.

I've connected to the NAS on a Windows machine, and used clonezilla-util to get everything running using the Mount a Clonezilla archive in Windows option as it seemed the most native experience for my partner to go through and grab what she needs.

We seem to be able to copy over induvidual files no issue.

But, when we try to copy over folders, we get the follwing message:

When we hit continue, we get this message:

I've tried to resolve this by giving the user Full Control of the destination folder, no luck.
I'm figuring this all out as I go so if I have missed something or if anyone has any solutions I'm all ears! :)

Thanks for this handy utility!

Update:

I ended up grabbing the .img file for the partition with all the user data and mounting it with OSFMount which helped me quickly learn that I didn't have permission to access the user folder.

I dismounted it as I had it in Read-Only mode and unticked it so I could write as well, gave my user permissions and presto! So far so good when it comes to accessing and copying folders over!

I imagine there's a way to use the original login info for the user on the original drive as opposed to forcefully giving all the permissions to the new user info on the new drive but I'm a bit fresh to this and went for the hard and fast option but if anyone can enlighten me on this I'd love to know.

Also, if anyone has any better suggestions than my approach to this I'm all ears.

Thankfully this was a little 128GB drive, if this was larger I'd be in a bind!

Thanks Nishy, it's great you successfully recovered files :)
Interesting about OSFMount.

Did you happen to try the Mount as Image files approach? I think 7-Zip may ignore the permissions of the files, allowing you to copy easily.

Cheers,

Heya thanks for getting back to me!

I did try Mount as Image Files and had a similar issue unfortunately

I did notice this when trying to mount this on a Mac with the help of Paragon - NTFS for Mac

So it could be the fact that it's hibernated playing a role here.
Not sure how to even go about taking it out of hibernation without being able to boot into it in the first place 😅

Either way, slowly learning things from this and also discovered that my partner actually used OneDrive so a bunch of her sentimental/important stuff is already backed up!
