I have a backup file done from xbian which I to restored using dd in an external pc.
However after the restore, I see the xbian logo expanding partitions but afterwards it does not boot with the error in the image.

Your root fs ( /dev/mmcblk0p2) can not be mounted. So I suppose your image is not correct.

Probably the image generation was failing due to an error. That happens sometimes, so I added log /tmp/xbiancopy.log to control image generation and made a commit for better error detection some days ago

But there is still one issue that have to be fixed: In case of serious btrfs file system error (I had this a couple of months ago on my devel RPi3, probably because of broken devel kernel damaged fs), image generation was failing permanently because of command btrfs send refused to work. (Un)fortunately all my btrfs fs are good in health, so currently I'm not able to reproduce this issue again

Quote:Any help? Is there any particular process for restoring these images?

No, dd for restoring image is ok

You can connect a keyboard to your RPi and try to check root partition by running command

Terminal

btrfs check /dev/root

when being in recovery boot console
