Newbie finds Clonezilla hard to use compared to old Symantec/Norton Ghost (text based).

[Ant]

Hello.

I have been using old Norton/Symantec Ghost products since the early 2000s to manually back up and restore FAT32 & NTFS partitions with its *.GHO images with bootable 3.5" and CDs (don't like the idea of doing them in running OSes). Since my Ghost is very old, I decided to check out the newer products like TrueImage, Macrium Reflect, and O&O DiskImage. Those were all easy and nice.

However, the free Clonezilla (used its bootable stable and alternative ISOs in VM to check it out) was confusing and hard to use with all its technical texts. Does Clonezilla have easier screens that aren't so technical for newbies like Windows PE GUIs, TUIs, etc.?

Thank you for reading, and I hope to get answers soon. :)

Clonezilla boots into TUI by default, and it's not confusing at all, you just need to READ what is on the screen. Don't choose advanced options if you find it confusing, just use the defaults. Do a few images and you'll get the program.
