[quote=“Dave_A, post: 30281, member: 24638”]Wouldn’t it be possible to add a step to the image-collection process, that grabs the partition map of the source via Linux fdisk or parted, and pushes it up as a text file with sys & rec images - then pull down and parse that file in the restore part of the script, to recreate the original map??[/quote]

Yes, that’s very possible. The problem is, the mbr is what determines the size of the disk, so after “re-mapping” the drive with the MBR data, it would be limited to the size of the original disk, which leads to the same thing you have with multi-part images.
