That's not specific enough. There are probably hundreds or even
thousands of reasons for failure. Exactly how does it fail?

OK when you say the restore operation fails, that suggests the restore
operation did not complete. Now you're suggesting the restore
completed, but the computer boots in recovery mode.

Please take a photo of the screen when the computer is in this
recovery mode. It sounds like it's not arriving at basic.target, and
there are a bunch of reasons for that, but usually with software
restore this is because /etc/fstab UUID doesn't match the actual
volume UUID. But that's really basic, I'd think Clonezilla would know
that if it's doing file copy cloning. And it wouldn't be necessary
with block level cloning.

So in any case we need more info.

The answer from Rick is that yes you can restore a clone to a
different drive. But I can't tell exactly what you're doing step by
step. So it might be useful to describe exactly how you created the
clone, and then how you're doing the restore, literally a recipe so
that someone who has never used clonezilla before could reproduce your
results.

Since I don't know exactly why it's failing, I can't tell you what or
how to fix it yet. It could be many things.
