Clonezilla skipping patitions in LVM partition


I'm trying to backup a drive with an LVM2 partition. 8 of the 10 partitions in the LVM restore fine, two do not.

SDA1 is the boot partition, SDA2 is an LVM2 partition with 10 partitions inside of it. When I restore the image created by Clonezilla the partition names are there but two of the partitions are unreadable and unmountable. I'm certain Clonezilla is skipping these two partitions because its entire image is around 40G and when I TGZ these two partitions I get an 80GB file. Clonezilla doesn't appear to give any errors and as it "winds up" it shows that it's unmounting the LVM partitions and I see my missing two in its list but when Clonezilla makes the image it never mentions the two I (really) want.

I'm trying Clonezilla's DD method right now but it appears to be DDing each partition (going through the LVMs right now).

Duplicate UUIDs

I just noticed that the two partitions being skipped have the same UUID. Ruh-roh.
