[Clonezilla-live] Newer Clonezilla live - Mac OS bare metal backup and recovery

[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

Clonezilla live 1.0.9-7 (testing) and 20080204-hardy (experimental) were
released.
*Experimental* one is based on Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) alpha4 with kernel
2.6.24 and clonezilla 2.2.4-8. Some new features:
1. GPT (GUID Partition Table) is supported.
2. HFS+, reiserfs4 are supported by using partclone (check -q2 when you
save an image if you want to use this).
3. 2.6.24-5 *generic* kernel instead of i386 from Ubuntu 8.04 is used,
therefore SMP/multi-core CPUs are supported.
This release can be used to save and restore an Intel-based Mac OS. It's
tested successfully to save and restore a Mac mini with Mac OS leopard +
Ubuntu 7.04 installed.
Clonezilla live 1.0.9-7 is all the same with 20080204-hardy, except it's
based on Debian etch with newer kernel (2.6.22) from backports.

///NOTE/// Mac OS clone is still in beta status, although we tested it
successfully. Since here we only have one Mac mini, so not too many test
cases were done. If you want to try it, *DO BACKUP YOUR IMPORTANT DATA*
before you restore an image. If you do successfully save and restore an
Intel-based Mac, please let us know.

Enjoy!
