I had to convert my test bench computer to an upgraded hardware specification (more RAM) and a 64bit version of Linux to run multiple virtual machines via Virtualbox. I cloned and restored 8 virtual machines hosted via Virtualbox open source edition using clonezilla-Live and a local SAMBA server flawlessly, without doubt Clonezilla is the leading software to achieve bare metal restores for machines running windows or linux that i have used, congratulations and thanks to all the team at Clonezilla.
I was absolutely stunned how easy the Clonezilla Live Cd made the laborious task or backing up and restoring 8 different virtual machines, i have used in past Ghost and the differing Arconis products, all worthy items of software, however this open source solution simply made my task so easy in regards to both portions of the job that i simply had to post this BLOG entry to sing its praises, also i am working on publishing a guide on how i did this as others may find this useful.
