Hi,
I'm absolutely new to clonezilla, just wanted to confirm if I can do this:
I have an ext3 formatted pen drive (8 GB) which contains about 2 GB worth of files (a movie trailer). I have to make many clones of this "master" to send to the cinemas. What would be the steps? CLonezilla preserves the ext3 filesystem, right? Can I just clone to a newly bought pen drive? Could you outline the steps? Thank you!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This may be a dumb question, but I just want to make sure. I have a laptop with a CD/DVD drive and two USB ports. If I boot from a CD, is there any reason why I couldn't clone one flash drive to another, provided that the size is right? And, is there any way to tell which is which before starting. (If it helps, I'm planning to clone a LiveUSB with an ext4 file system to a new drive with the default FAT32 system.)

Yes, you can clone to a new pen drive. Check this:
