I havent been successful with Clonezilla and pci nvme ssd hard drives. Is there a trick to get them to save an image? or is this going to be added to a future release? if so when?
I have successfully create image of my NVMe disk and restore it. Therefore it definitely work.
You did not give any error messages or details about the issue, so I believe others will be very difficult to help you.

thank you for that information. When i tried saving an image it didnt see the NVME drive at all. i dont remember the exact error, but it didnt see it. Is there a way you got this to work? Bios settings?

If you use M.2 drive, then you should set bios boot with AHCI , then it should working well, If Bios is set to boot with RAID, then Clonezilla can't recognize the m.2 drive.

Thanks for that! Once I have the laptop in question in hand. I will take a peek at that setting, and try again, What if it has secure boot as well, disable that as well?

I get the following error message attached. Secure boot is off, UEFI set to never, AHCI off. I am just trying to save/create an image of this machine. Any insight on this?
Give the latest Clonezilla live a try, e.g., 20190707-eoan amd64 a try: https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
It comes with Linux kernel 5.x so it might support your hardware.
