Clonezilla (64-bit)
Clonezilla 64 bit is a partition and disk imaging/cloning tool, comparable to True Image. It allows you to perform system deployment, bare metal backup, and recovery. The program is available in three versions: Clonezilla Live, Clonezilla Lite Server, and Clonezilla SE (server edition).
Clonezilla Live is appropriate for single-machine backup and restoration. While Clonezilla lite server or SE is designed for large-scale deployments, it can clone many PCs (40 or more!) at once. It saves and restores only the used blocks on the hard disk. This improves cloning efficiency. With certain high-end hardware in a 42-node cluster, a multicast restoration rate of 8 GB/min was reported.
Features and Highlights
- Many file systems are supported: (1) ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, btrfs, f2fs, and nilfs2 of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS of MS Windows, (3) HFS+ of macOS, (4) UFS of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, (5) minix of Minix, and (6) VMFS3 and VMFS5 of VMWare ESX.
- As a result, you can clone GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows, Intel-based Mac OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Minix, VMware ESX, and Chrome OS/Chromium OS, regardless of whether they are 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) operating systems. For these file systems, Partclone saves and restores only used blocks in the partition. For unsupported file systems, the software uses dd to do sector-to-sector copies.
- GNU/Linux supports LVM2 (but not LVM version 1).
- The boot loader, which includes grub (versions 1 and 2) and syslinux, can be reinstalled.
- A hard drive's partition formats are supported, including MBR and GPT. It can also be booted from a BIOS or UEFI machine.
- Unattended mode is supported. Almost all steps can be completed using commands and parameters. You can also use a wide range of boot parameters to tailor your own imaging and cloning.
- A single image can be restored to several local devices.
- The image could be encrypted. This is done using ecryptfs, a POSIX-compliant enterprise cryptographic stacking filesystem.
- Clonezilla SE supports multicast, making it appropriate for huge cloning. If your clients support PXE and Wake-on-LAN, you can utilize it remotely to save or restore multiple PCs.
- BitTorrent (BT) is supported in the lite server, which is ideal for huge cloning. Ezio does the job for BT mode.
- The picture file can be stored on a local drive, an SSH server, a Samba server, an NFS server, or a WebDAV server.
- AES-256 encryption can be used to protect data access, storage, and transmission.
- To image or clone a partition, use either Partclone (default), Partimage (optional), ntfsclone (optional), or dd. However, the app, which includes several other tools, can save and restore not only partitions but entire disks.
- The hostname, group, and SID of a cloned MS Windows machine can be updated automatically using another free program called drbl-winroll, which we have developed.
Limitations
- The destination partition must be equal to or larger than the source one.
- Differential/incremental backup is not yet implemented.
- Online imaging/cloning is not yet deployed. The partition to be imaged or cloned must be unmounted.
- Because of the image format limitations, the image cannot be studied or mounted. You cannot recover a single file from the image. However, you still have a way to make it; read this.
- Recovery Clonezilla Live with several CDs or DVDs is not yet implemented. If you want to generate a recovery iso file, you must now put all of the files on one CD or DVD.
