    LightBulb Clonezilla 1.2.2.31

    Well, how about doing bare metal backup and recovery?

    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 time to massively clone systems to many computers. You've probably also heard 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!


    For full information and download, please visit their very informative web:

    http://www.clonezilla.org/

    You may find it interesting, or at least worth some discussion.

    Hi,
    Very nice find ,,Willem,, .

    Some userful things can be found here and here .
    A good point is that :,,This software works with Windows, Mac, and Linux (or can be used from a Live CD) ,, .

    A ,,Linux Guru,, opinion is here ( I hope that I will not be banned for this ).

    A good free alternative ( in my opinion - perhaps I wrong) for Windows based system's is ,,Macrium Reflect Free Edition,, .
    Mr. Raymond article is here .

    Best regards !

    No, no problem, my friend. I was so glad you had a good store of knowledge about this utility, and was able to interact in a very informative way. Actually as with many things, Clonezilla is such news to me; I don't have time enough (like, to read) to keep myself abreast of all that's recent in technological development.

    Murphy, I feel proud to have a friend like you, an inexhaustible spring of much-needed help, encouragement and self-confidence especially for newbies and ordinary day-workers like me.

    Keep it up, man!

    My next post was going to be on Clonezilla... Willem, can you stay out of my mind please? LOL. Do you want me to note you on what the next one was so you can post it too?

    Seriously, it's another amazing tool. It's only flaw is that you can't back up data to source disk, but that's to be expected, I'd think.
