Modify Clonezilla iso to partially automate backups

$

I have a dual boot laptop and want to simplify backups of the entire laptop disk to an external drive.

I boot the clonezilla.iso using a Ventoy modified external hard drive. I believe that since I am not using grub to boot the clonezilla ive iso, that I will be modifying "Z:\boot\grub\grub.cfg". I have the iso mounted on Z:\ in Windows.

I have searched but most were too complicated for me and none used Ventoy to boot the image.

The last two times I backed up with the live iso, I got this set of commands "to use the next time ..."

/usr/sbin/ocs-sr -q2 -c -j2 -z9p -i 0 -sfsck -scs -senc -p reboot savedisk 2025-08-17-09-img sda

  • I will be backing up the entire /dev/sda hard drive sda1 through sda8 which boots either Ubuntu or Windows 10.

  • I'm booting Ventoy-Clonezilla from a hard drive /dev/sdb via Ventoy.

  • I want to use /dev/sdc1 as the mnt location for Clonezilla for this operation, i.e. /home/partimag

  • I want the backups to be located also on the sdc external drive on an ntfs file system partition at /media/WS4TB-Dell/clone-bak/

  • No encryption, no fsck checking and using fast compression options.
