Load_Cycle_Count has risen too much after clonezilla-backup (/etc/hdparm.conf was edited)

I´ve created a system-backup using clonezilla.
After starting my system (Linux/Lubuntu 16.04.5 LTS, 64 bit) again I checked the Load_Cycle_Count of my drive with
sudo smartctl -A -d sat /dev/sdc
. I noticed that the Load_Cycle_Count has risen by a value of 50 from 57705 to 57755.
That was a bit unusual as the Load_Cycle_Count normally rises by a value of 3 (from one boot-up to the next).
Yet I have to say that this time clonezilla had to fix my third partition before beginning the backup-process. I let fsck do its job per default.
So could the observed phenomenon have something to do with that?
Or is there any way of preventing unusual "Load_Cycle_Count"-rises when using clonezilla for backup purposes?

What is the drive model (cat /sys/class/block/sdc/device/model), and do you know the brand (manufacturer) as well ? What doeshdparm -B /dev/sdcshow, both when running Lubuntu, and when you run it from a shell in the Clonezilla live system?

Might be worth linking to some article like superuser.com/a/847431/110495 when you want to ask about a concern with Load_Cycle_Count, because not everyone will know what it is & why you might be concerned.

@ sourcejedi: Info: - WD Elements 25A2, - Model Family: Western Digital Elements / My Passport (USB, AF), - Device Model: WDC WD10JMVW-11AJGS4, - Firmware Version: 01.01A01 .hdparm -B /dev/sdc /dev/sdcreturnsAPM_level = 254. That´s o.k. as I have taken care of that already. As far as the daily routine is concerned evereything´s fine. It´s only after a clonezilla backup when the Load_Cycle_Count rises. But when using the PC again (after the backup) the count is o.k. That means: it rises by a value of 3 per (re)boot, which is normal.

FYI, comments are intended to be used to gather information which can be used to edit the question to make it clear. The question would be improved by editing to include the information about having modified/etc/hdparm.confon your Lubuntu system. You do not need to worry about the comments looking out of date: this is the exact intended purpose of the comments on this site.
