Based on Partclone (default), Partimage (optional), ntfsclone (optional), or dd to image or clone a partition.AES-256 encryption could be used to secures data access, storage, and transfer.The image file can be on local disk, ssh server, samba server, NFS server, or WebDAV server.BitTorrent (BT) is supported in the lite server, which is suitable for massive clone.You can also remotely use it to save or restore a bunch of computers if PXE and Wake-on-LAN are supported in your clients. Multicast is supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for massive clone.This is done with ecryptfs, a POSIX-compliant enterprise cryptographic stacked filesystem. One image restoring to multiple local devices is supported.You can also use a lot of boot parameters to customize your own imaging and cloning. Almost all steps can be done via commands and options. It also can be booted on a BIOS or uEFI machine. Both MBR and GPT partition formats of a hard drive are supported.Boot loader, including grub (version 1 and version 2) and syslinux, could be reinstalled.LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported.For an unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in the app. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved and restored by Partclone. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows, Intel-based Mac OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Minix, VMWare ESX and Chrome OS/Chromium OS, no matter its 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) OS.Many File systems are supported: (1) ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, btrfs, f2fs and nilfs2 of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, 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.With some high-end hardware in a 42-node cluster, a multicast restoring at rate 8 GB/min was reported.

It saves and restores only used blocks in the hard disk. While Clonezilla lite server or SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Three types of the app are available, Clonezilla live, Clonezilla lite server, and Clonezilla SE (server edition).Ĭlonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. It helps you to do system deployment, bare metal backup, and recovery. Clonezilla is a partition and disk imaging/cloning program similar to True Image.
