Is it possible to pause CloneZilla?

0

I've been running a clone on a drive with bad sectors for 7 hours. The external is getting hot to the touch. I'd rather not fry both drives, but I also don't want to start over. Google results came up with nothing.

Anyone know a way I can pause to give the drives a rest?

I dont think so... Perhaps get a desk fan to blow on the drive? – Keltari – 2013-12-09T15:11:54.687

1I'll restart with DDrescue to copy good sectors first. At least that I can stop and continue. The drive is enclosed. Poor air flow. – Joseph – 2013-12-09T15:14:09.543

1"I put ice over it in the time being." Damn. Cook some eggs. (Joke aside, try to remove the case and make the drive function somehow?) – Apache – 2013-12-09T15:17:49.143

Go to a terminal and send it a stop signal (kill -SIGSTOP pid), send a continue one when you want to resume (kill -SIGCONT pid)
