[Clonezilla-live] cloned-drive vs disk-image

[Angelo M. <mra...@gm...>]

Hi,

it is not a long time that I begun to use clonezilla, ...and already I had
the benefit of saving an installation of my OS due to a defective hard disk.

While initially I was following the instructions of a tutorial in order to
make the backups, now I begin to ask myself some questions.

Til now, I always made backups, making an "disk-image" -AS IT WAS
RECOMENDED IN THE TUTORIAL-.

But now I'm thinking that this way to work could not be (perhaps) the
best: because
it involves the restoration of HD using clonezilla yet.

Now I'm thinking that the technique of the "cloned-drive" could be perhaps
more practical,  since (as I believe) allows you to use directly the cloned
HD.

Having no experience I would like to ask if what I think is right and I
would like also  get some more deepened information about the difference
between the two ways of achieving clones:


   - disk-image
   - cloned-drive

Thank you


Regards


Angelo
