Apparently, it includes Partimage, which seems to perform the same task as Clonezilla. What does Clonezilla add that Partimage can't do?
I'd like to use Clonezilla to clone Windows once a week to make sure I always have a full image of the system partition. By default, Clonezilla requires going through several screens before we get to save/restore an image.
How can CZ Live be configured to simply start and show the user the two options (backup/restore), and go ahead?
Thank you.

~~To Point 1:
None other can say which method is the right one for yourself. Simply test all.
~~To Point 2:
There are many hardware. The live program and its data should fit in the working RAM of the PC. That's why it's necessary
to adapt the special wishes in a configuration file.
The method of fully automatic without any user interaction (as an example)
-use an external drive formatted with a 1. partition 300 MB for Clonezilla, a 2. partition for data
-adapt the clonezilla
syslinux/syslinux.cfg:
In the 'append ..' line (! without newline ) should you use
' ocs_prerun="mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt" '
' ocs_prerun1="mount --bind /mnt /home/partimag/" '
' ocs_live_run="ocs-sr -q2 -j2 -nogui -z1p -i 2000 -p poweroff saveparts autoname sda1 sda2" '
' locales="en_US.UTF-8" '
' keyboard-layouts=en '
The last entry will be used.
(ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" locales= keyboard-layouts= #could you delete)
And now any more at the beginning of syslinux.cfg:
timeout 3 #3 msec instead timeout 300
prompt 0
Now it's depending on the boot selection only called with any function keys (F11,..).
(tested with clonezilla-live-2.1.2-43-i686-pae, with hidden windows partition)

For a simple setup, ie. in the same shot, between two partitions or disks, RedoBackup seems to work the same way as Clonezilla, but with a simpler GUI.

Hello
I have a couple of questions about Clonezilla:

Thanks for the tips.

Sure. Different projects have different goals. You are welcome to choose the one fitting your need.
