Clonezilla is a partition and disk imaging/cloning program similar to True Image®. It saves and restores only used blocks in hard drive. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (Server Edition).
Features
- Filesystem supported: ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, FAT, NTFS of MS Windows, HFS+ of Mac OS, UFS of BSD, minix of Minix and VMFS of VMWare ESX. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows and Intel-based Mac OS, no matter it's 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) OS. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved and restored. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in Clonezilla
- LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported.
- Multicast is supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for massive clone.
- Based on partclone to clone partition. However, clonezilla, containing some other programs, can save and restore not only partitions, but also a whole disk.

Got error while trying to clone hdd to hdd. This disk contains mismatched GPT and MBR partition: /dev/sda Enter command line prompt sudo sgdisk -z /dev/sda and if you're lucky you'll not kill all your data amazing! Aomei backupper did this job without any complaints and it also free.

I used this successfully for some years. However, as I upgraded my hardware & OSs over the last 12 months it is less than OK. Constant errors when backing up larger partitions, either warnings "Failed to read memory" & "Do you have strange power management" or fatal errors around "Failed to use partclone program" If it were isolated I'd be examining the hardware, but it's the same on my two new notebooks, HP Microserver and a standard PC, all running Ubuntu based OSs (14.04 LTS). Shame, really. I'll still give it two stars because it used to work and maybe it will again one day. For now I moved to Paragon.

I'm only considering using it... I downloaded it, burned it to a CD, and am now doing some reading. Quite frankly the English in the instructions is bad enough that I'm very nervous about using this software. "Select disk for image". Uhhh... ok... is that source or target? How about "Select Source" instead? or "Select Target"? The GUI looks sad and is a relic from days gone by - I should know, I'm also a relic from days gone by. Look at something like k3b.... no, it's not cloning software but it is disk burning software and I was astonished by how professional k3b looked, felt and worked. I didn't need to read anything for k3b, it was simple to use - and considering its complexity, that's no small compliment! In comparison based on all the hype I would have expected clonezilla to be amazing in look, feel and operation. While some people say good things about it, based on some of the reviews/comments here as well as my own first look - it's not an easy piece of software to use and requires some heavy duty brain cycles to understand and use properly. Not sure I want to spend the time, or take the chance I might not get it right. Designers should take a hard look at something like k3b and give clonezilla a complete makeover. It's not 1990 anymore.
