It does exactly what it says on the box. Its an essential no messing around utility. If you screw it up it means you haven't read the instructions. It is really that easy.

NIC card no longer works. Booting from image, all goes accordingly till system reboot and the legacy os loads (windows). Reinstalled NIC, troubleshooting event logs (shouldn't matter when OS powered down) but I recalled an operation during the cloning process telling me it's notifying/triggering an event within the powered down Windows OS, i figured something might have been corrupted in the registry. I was right but decided it's more work repairing the registry vs doing a fresh reformat of my OS. Thanks for wasting 2 hours of my LIFE!!
If this is true, why in the world do you need to trigger ANY events to a user machine offline OS instance if the cloning operation occurs between two independent disk? I understand the latter if mounting the directory to an active volume/disk shared with Windows but in cases like mine (cloning external-to-external HDD), this should run independently. ie. build files/cache in ram disk, and do whatever it is you linux guys do to ensure ZERO impact to users data outside the scope of the source/destination disk.
Either way, I just want to share this is a poorly written application from my perspective. You should be more forthcoming about any procedural ramifications to a users data before someone approves a batch process of linux commands to jack up their data and OS.
Maybe i'm way off and missed something, but if im not, shame on you jerks.... Either way, your UI is not intuitive. I own Acronis and paid for it but was hoping this had more functionality. Well it does and them some... Including the above.. Thanks again

I have been using Clonezilla since its first release in 2007 or so. It has been upgraded as new hardware and software emerged over time. Clonezilla has never let me down! What is being done on this product is true to the 'open source' tradition, and that is remarkable. Kudos could never be enough to thank Steven for his contribution to those that need a simple, reliable and thoroughly tested suite to provide something as basic, and needed, as 'backups'. I tried to make a donation to this project, but was denied, with a notice stating that "Donations aren't supported in this organization's country". I can however state that this project has allowed me to keep abreast of my favorite Linux Distro, for over 15 years. It made other complicated sets of options pale in comparison to this Simple, Effective and Reliable program. My experience with this program is that it has been 'rock solid' and 'without errors'. Thank you for your vast contribution to my hobby for all this time ... Robert

Excellent

used once and it did all ok. not for beginners because of it's possibilities (although...)

Very useful. Backup or restore for Windows and Linux system partition only takes 20 to 30 minutes. Great time saver for technicians and sys admins. Only con is the inability to save the logs to disk (logs are in ram only). Overall this software is made in heaven. Thank you for giving this for free.

Giving 5 star rating b/c of reliability - most important quality for ANY backup system! Technically, while not best suited for a complete novice, after some practice it is actually easy to use. Strongly recommended.

With reasonable care and a great program like Clonezilla you should never be left out in the cold! I keep my data stored on a separate hard drive so the primary drive just has to run my OS and programs. Any time there is a major change in Windows or the programs I breakout Clonezilla and create an image of my primary drive. Even Microsoft can't screw me up! Clonezilla is easy to work with if you understand the basics. Most likely you will have to change some boot parameters in your BIOS before you begin and make a plan as to where you are going to store your image. Once your ready follow the prompts and use the defaults or, if your a savvy operator, you can tweak your image parameters to your liking. I'm not saying it's "fool-proof" but it's pretty close and with the supporting community around Clonezilla there's always help available!!! Great Job Folks!

I love this stuff cause it is easy as possible to learn, yet very powerfull.

This is Clonezilla, you can do a full backup and restore of your server with clonezilla live on a pendrive. This is the best protection from ransomware. Ransomware is an ever-evolving form of malware designed to encrypt files on a device, rendering any files and the systems that rely on them unusable. Malicious actors then demand ransom in exchange for decryption. If you're hit by ransomware, just do a full restore of your server and your network drives. Remember this, because you don't learn it on a Network Engineer course.

It should support Backup/Restore in Windows too.. I mean it should be install-able in Windows and it should backup while Windows is running and it should restore when we click on restore in app, app should restart Windows and run the clonezilla APP and restore Windows installation (C Drive + System Reserve)..

Flawless back-up and imaging tool. Boots fast from tiny USB stick. Supports all my computing equipment including a 2004 ShuttleX w- puny Pentium4.

Good program.

The best creator and editor of partitions. It has helped me to migrate system installations in an easy and enjoyable way.

The best! I've been using it for years and it never failed me. I regularly (one a week) create and save images of my Debian and Clonezilla Works like a charm. Clonezilla is very good because it consider the used space only and the compressed image is very small (I guess 50% of the used space) so you won't have to dedicate a whole big disk for your images. I recently switched from HHD to SSD on my old laptop and Clonezilla copied it perfectly. In the last year it also became very easy to connect using WiFi, thanks to nmtui (in the previous versions it was a mess: you had to waste your time configuring everything step by step). I appreciate the richness of other CLI tools too: ddrescue, testdisk and so on, that allow you to use it as a regular admin live. The only thing I miss is Gparted but it requires a graphical environment, so it cannot be added to Clonezilla. Support is excellent: Steven is very nice and the community is very active. Thanks to Steven and all developers! :-)

I love and use this project too much in my classroom. This project helps me to maintain updated computers at school.

Is it a badge of honor to maintain the interface in such a poor state? Looks like early 80's never left. I just don't get it...why not update it a little so it's more user-friendly? Someone from Fiverr could've revamped the look, etc. for 40 dollars. Yes, Clonezilla 'gets the job done' but I only use it because my current boss thinks it's the best thing ever. For me it's more enjoyable (yes, I said that) using Hirens Boot CD which includes AOMEI Partition Assistant. Visually it's easier to 'get' and quicker to use. I find I make less mistakes and don't get stuck with some BS error jacking me up, which does happen when using Clonezilla.

Excellent product!
