Clonezilla Live是基于Debian的自启动运行光盘，它包含了一份类似NortonGhost那样的分区/硬盘克隆软件Clonezilla。它保存并恢复硬盘上那些使用了的数据块。使用Clonezilla，用户可以在大约10分钟内将5 GB的系统克隆到40份客户机上。
What is Clonezilla ? You're probably familiar with the popular proprietary commercial package Norton Ghost®, and its OpenSource counterpart, Partition Image.The problem with these software packages is that it takes a lot of timeto massively clone systems to many computers. You've probably alsoheard of Symantec's solution to this problem, Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition®with multicasting. Well, now there is an OpenSource clone system (OCS)solution called Clonezilla with unicasting and multicasting!
Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partition Image, ntfsclone, partclone, and udpcast, allows you to do 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 (40plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores onlyused blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone efficiency. Atthe NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computerssimultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytessystem image to all 41 computers via multicasting!
Features of Clonezilla- Free (GPL) Software.
- Filesystem supported: ext2,ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, FAT, NTFS of MS Windows, andHFS+ of Mac OS (testing feature provided by partclone).Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows and Intel-based Mac OS.For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved andrestored. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done bydd in Clonezilla.
- LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported.
- Multicastis supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for massively clone.You can also remotely use it to save or restore a bunch of computers ifPXE and Wake-on-LAN are supported in your clients.
- Based on Partimage, ntfsclone, partclone,and dd to clone partition. However, clonezilla, containing some otherprograms, can save and restore not only partitions, but also a wholedisk.
- By using another free software drbl-winroll, which is also developed by us, the hostname, group, and SID of cloned MS windows machine can be automatically changed.
