Clonezilla Live 3.1.0-22 - USB

Version 3.1.0-22 Release Date: April 27, 2023

What is Clonezilla?

Clonezilla is a partition and disk imaging/cloning program similar to True Image® or Norton Ghost®. It helps you to do system deployment, bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone efficiency. With some high-end hardware in a 42-node cluster, a multicast restoring at rate 8 GB/min was reported.

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 3.0.3-22

• The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2023/Apr/26).
• Linux kernel was updated to 6.1.25-1.
• Package ezio was updated to 2.0.0-1. The corresponding changes to Clonezilla have been done.
• Program makeboot.sh: make it run only in x86 arch.
• Include packages dvtm & dtach.
• Memtest86+ was updated to v6.10.
• If block dev has a file system found in the image when restoring, treat it as a partition.
• ocs-sr: if /dev/md* exists, list both disk and parts in TUI, and disable devices list cache mechanism.
• ocs-onthefly: disable devices list cache mechanism if /dev/md* exists.
• Add option "-K" (--ignoreactivationskip) to vgchange so that snapshots can be dealed with. 
• Functions check_if_disk_busy and is_partition of ocs-functions were improved. Fake/firmware RAID support should be improved. 

BUG FIXES

• Invalid dialog options for '-p' option. Ref: https://github.com/stevenshiau/drbl/pull/27
• ocs-cvtimg-comp: Suppress the syntax error about size when dd image is converted. Rename the existing destination image name if it exists. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Help/thread/e182121ea0
• Devices list cache failed to disabled. If use_dev_list_cache is set as no, then check_if_use_disklist_cache and check_if_use_partlist_cache in ocs-functions should not create any cache info.
• Remove extra "stop" in parameters when stopping lighttpd.

Minimum System Requirements for Clonezilla live:

• X86 or x86-64 processor
• 196 MB of system memory (RAM)
• Boot device, e.g. CD/DVD Drive, USB port, PXE, or hard drive

Limitations:

• The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one.
• Differential/incremental backup is not implemented yet.
• Online imaging/cloning is not implemented yet. The partition to be imaged or cloned has to be unmounted.
• Due to the image format limitation, the image can not be explored or mounted. You can _NOT_ recovery single file from the image. However, you still have workaround to make it, read this.
• Recovery Clonezilla live with multiple CDs or DVDs is not implemented yet. Now all the files have to be in one CD or DVD if you choose to create the recovery iso file.
