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.

Whats new in 2.5.2-17

This release of Clonezilla live (2.5.2-17) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES

• Linux kernel was updated to 4.11.6-1.
• Partclone was updated to 0.2.91.

Therefore re-arrange the main menu of Clonezilla live as: "device-image", "device-device", "remote-source", "remote-dest", "lite-server", "lite-client". Thanks to Aaron Burling for providing suggestions.
• Boot parameter "ocs_litesrv_mode" was added for lite server presetting: use-existing-dhcpd, start-new-dhcpd, auto-detect, no-dhcpd. Thanks to Aaron Burling for providing suggestions.

BUG FIXES

• Detect if terminal supports color output before using color outputs in the terminal. Thanks to TF for asking this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ec46f3a3/
• When creating partition table on a disk, Clonezilla should wait for partition name with extra p, like nvme0n1p1, to take effect. Thanks Bruno Vila Vilariño for reporting this issue.
• Failed to use the serial number with space. Thanks to Matt Broadstone for providing the patch. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/266/
• Package whiptail was updated which improves handling of long strings in menu. Ref: http://bugs.debian.org/847729

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.
