There would be
I have tried to run image-backup and it is successful to a point: After the backup completes, the script runs "e2fsck" and there are errors:Doesn't that tell you anything ?
If I attached the drive to a Windows 10 PC and run chkdsk /f d:, there are no errors or problems reported.
NTFS is not a Linux filesystem, it is a Windows filesystem, so of course Windows knows and understands it. However, e2fsck is a Linux tool to check the ext2 family of Linux filesystems, I highly doubt whether it will work against NTFS. There is also the problem of file ownership, NTFS has no concept of Linux file ownership.
e2fsck is run on the ext4 partition/filesystem of the image file which is opened as a loop device, not on the NTFS filesystem containing the image file. Creating an image file on an NTFS formatted disk is definitely permitted and no errors or warnings should occur..
