Rescuezilla 2.1 is not actually restoring Clonezilla's partition-hidden-data-after-mbr file.

This is causing Linux/Windows MBR dual-boot machines (and possibly Linux/Linux dual-boot machines) to fail to load the GRUB bootloader, something that was working fine in earlier versions of Rescuezilla.

This issue will be resolved with extremely high priority with Rescuezilla v2.1.1 being released very soon.

The fact this regression bug slipped through to release is another reason why task #151 (Add automated testing suite for Rescuezilla's long-term maintainability) will be so important to the future of Rescuezilla.

Fixed in Rescuezilla v2.1.1. If you're experiencing this issue, simply restore with v2.1.1.

I am leaving this GitHub issue open for sometime so that any users who are affected by this issue see this item.
