@hhh You should be able to bzcat ~/old-disk.img.bz2 | pv > /dev/sdb2 ... that'd put it back on /dev/sdb2 (which needs to already be set up to be the same size or larger). Note that is a partition image, not a disk image. But I've got to run.

oh, and sorry, that's bzcat not zcat
@hhh make sure you saw that edit, or you'll get a weird error

@derobert Saw it, don't worry. Thank you for the notice.
