Clonezilla LiveCD, popularly known as Clonezilla, is an open source (free) Linux distribution based on the Debian GNU/Linux operating system. It provides a Live CD that contains all the necessary utilities and libraries for cloning the content of hard disk drives. The distribution offers a minimalistic, text-mode interface, specifically designed to load fast enough to help system administrators, and even regular users, with their hard disk cloning tasks.

Supports many file systems

Clonezilla LiveCD supports the following file systems: Btrfs, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, ReiserFS, Reiser4, XFS, JFS, FAT12/16/32, NTFS, HFS+, UFS, minix, VMFS3 and VMFS5. In addition, both MBR (Master Boot Record) and GPT (GUID Partition Table) partition tables are supported by Clonezilla, which is distributed as Live CD ISO images, supporting both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, and PAE (Physical Address Extension).

LVM2 is also supported

Unlike the G4U (Ghost for UNIX) or G4L (Ghost for Linux) projects, Clonezilla only uses blocks in hard disk drivers, which are saved and restored, increasing the efficiency of the entire cloning process. LVM2 is also supported, as well as unicast and multicast in the PXEBoot version, which is suitable for batch hard drive cloning tasks. Remote cloning of hard drives is also possible with the Clonezilla Live CD.

Distributed as Live CDs

In order to run Clonezilla LiveCD, you will need to burn the ISO image to a blank CD or deploy it on a USB flash drive with a dedicated utility, such as Unetbootin. It runs only in live mode and it can’t be installed. It can be used to clone almost any known operating system, including any Linux distribution, any BSD distribution (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD), Minix, Microsoft Windows, VMWare ESX, as well as Intel-based Mac OS.

Live CD boot options

When you first start the Clonezilla LiveCD, it will display five options. The first one, named “Clonezilla live,” is the default selection and the one that should be used by anyone. The “Other modes of Clonezilla live,” is the second option, and it allows users to start the Live CD with a different resolution than the default option, start the entire system in RAM, ejecting the live media, as well as to use the safe graphics settings and failsafe modes.

The third option, “Local operating system in harddrive (if available)” can be used to boot the operating system that is currently installed on the respective machine. With the “Memtest & FreeDOS” option you will be able to test your computer’s RAM (system memory) and access the FreeDOS DOS-compatible operating system. Finally, the last option will allow you to boot an operating system over the network via iPXE (Preboot Execution Environment).

What is new in this release:

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:
The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2018/Mar/30).
Linux kernel was updated to 4.15.11-1.
Partclone was updated to 0.3.11-drbl3 with some libraries updated. //NOTE// New image format is used in this release. It is different from the one saved by Partclone 0.2.x.
New massive deployment mechanism bittorrent was added. //NOTE// Clonezilla has to convert the original image to the special format when bittorrent mode is used. This will require more disk space in the image repository.
Switch keymap configuration method from console-data to keyboard-configuration. Ref: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=893612
Update language files de_DE, es_ES, fr_FR, hu_HU, ja_JP, it_IT, tr_TR and sk_SK. Thanks to Michael Vinzenz, Juan Ramon Martinez, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Greg Hefty, Akira YOSHIYAMA, ianfranco Gentili, Volkan Gezer and Ondrej Dzivy Balucha.
Add channel bonding option when configuring network. Thanks to panther_1 for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/61/
Make prep-ocsroot can use disk block device (e.g., /dev/sdc) as image repository. Thanks to Riksoft for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/288/
Add options -pe and -pfe to ocs-sr. This allows user to enter password in the command options although it's not safe. Thanks to ub2 at gmx ch for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/d3af2134
New compression lz4/lz4mt (-z8/-z8p) and zstd/pzstd (-z9/-z9p) were added in expert mode.
Make ocs-chnthn work for device name like /dev/nvme0n1p1. This change should really fix the issue reported here: https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/30
Remove "-p 16" for pigz in drbl-ocs.conf. It should let pigz to decide that automatically.
Package drbl-chntpw is no more used, and now we switch to use reged from package chntpw.
The file efiboot.img has been moved to /boot/grub/ from /EFI/image from /EFI/image/.
Add a workaround to make dnsmasq relay work for uEFI network boot clients. i.e., we have to assign the tftp server IP address in grub network boot loader. This is only necessary when dnsmasq is used to relay the DHCP request from clients to existing DHCP service. Ref: http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2017q1/011124.html
Add boot parameter ocs_netlink_timeout so that the network link detection timeout can be assigned for ocs-live-netcfg.
Add an option -cbm to ocs-live-feed-img. Besides, remove boot parameter ocs_litesrv_mode. It's better to assign that in the command line option (-dm) when running ocs-live-feed-img, e.g., ocs-live-feed-img -cbm netboot -dm auto-detect -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -r -x -j2 -sc0 -p reboot -md multicast --clients-to-wait 1 --max-time-to-wait 300 start myimg sda.
Support using UUID and LABEL as image repository, i.e., local_dev for image repository can be assigned as: dev:///LABEL|UUID|PARTLABEL|PARTUUID=uuid|label. E.g., ocs_repository="dev:///UUID=84b012cc-5a4c-41e2-bf20-620d028072cb"
BUG FIXES:
Jfbterm should not exit when lite server is running. It would terminate the required service for clients to restore image, especially BT service in non-English environment.
Cnvt-ocs-dev failed to convert EBR (like sda2-ebr). Thanks to killuaDK for reporting this: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Open_discussion/thread/b851e095
Ocs-chnthn now supports modifying Win10 hostname. Thanks to Frantisek Griga for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/100/
/EFI/centos/grubx64.efi should be before /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi. Thanks to Fritzinger, Bernd (Bernd.Fritzinger at bruker com).

Choose "Enter_shell" should not give any error. This should fix the issue reported at: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/a44f2814
Timezone issue. Thanks to Albert25.
Remove partprobe command after ocs-scan-disk. Sometimes it delays the GPT partition to be shown in /proc/partitions.

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:
The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Oct/21).
Linux kernel was updated to 4.7.8-1.
Remove "nodmraid" from boot parameters in drbl-ocs.conf. Now fakeraid/firmware raid is supported.
Language files hu_HU, ja_JP.UTF-8, de_DE, fr_FR, it_IT, and es_ES was updated. Thanks to Greg Marki, Akira YOSHIYAMA, Michael Vinzenz, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Gianfranco Gentili, Juan Ramon Martinez and Alex Ibanez Lopez.
The drbl/clonezilla live version info will be put in /etc/ocs/ocs-live.conf, and when an image is saved, the info will be saved in Info-packages.txt.
Applied patches from Aaron Burling, so now when mounting image repository, it is able to browse the directories recursively.
Force to make timeout of dhclient as 60 secs. Debian uses 60, but Ubuntu uses 300. Too long. Thanks to Cecile, Adam (Adam.Cecile at hitec lu) for reporting this.
Add mechanism to detect bitlocker and Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) in ocs-get-part-info.
Add options -sfsck and -senc in the Clonezilla live interactive menu for saving image modes. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
Ask the post action (choose, reboot, poweroff) before starting cloning. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
Add entry points by using boot parameters ocs_savedisk_prerun, ocs_saveparts_prerun, ocs_restoredisk_prerun, and ocs_restoreparts_prerun in ocs-sr. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for these ideas.
Boot parameter ocs_overwrite_postaction has higher priority than the action assigned by option "-p" in ocs-sr, and "-pa" in ocs-onthefly. The value for ocs_overwrite_postaction is: [choose|reboot|poweroff]-on-[restoredisk|restoreparts|savedisk|saveparts|clone] E.g., choose-on-restoredisk means the postaction for restoredisk will always be choose no matter what is assigned in -p of ocs-sr or -pa of ocs-onthefly. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
Now ocs-live-preload checks if /opt/{overwrite-all-boot-param,overwrite-part-boot-param} exists (Downloaded from root of ocs_preload). File overwrite-all-boot-param is to overwrite the whole /proc/cmdline, while overwrite-part-boot-param only overwrites part of the variables in /proc/cmdline. Especially those "ocs_*" parameters. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea and providing sample codes.
Packages dislocker, ext4magic, myrescue, os-prober, powertop were added.
BUG FIXES:
Inform kernel partition changes only when disk is not busy. This should solve the issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/265/
Replace boot parameter noprompt with noeject since live-boot >= v3 uses noeject, not noprompt.
Live-boot failed to mount vfat device as the boot media for Clonezilla live. Thanks to Little Vulpix for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba31ffc8
Failed to create the checksum files for files in LV, i.e., when option "-gmf" or "-cmf" is enabled. Thanks to Mircea Dan. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/260/
Change /proc/sys/vm/highmem_is_dirtyable to 1 when running i686 Linux kernel and the RAM size is larger than 8 GB. Thanks to Little Vulpix for this suggestion. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba31ffc8
Clean file system/LVM info before creating partition table. Thanks to Mircea Dan (byreal at users sf net) and Pete Morris (morrispj at jmu edu) for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/254/
Disable service systemd-timesyncd. Clonezilla live should not change the system time. Thanks to Rick and rfried for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/b2667447

What is new in version 2.4.8-10:

The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Jun/27).
Linux kernel was updated to 4.6.2-2.
Partclone was updated to 0.2.89. A btrfs issue has been fixed.
Cloudfuse was updated to 0.9+redbogit871a98f-drbl2, i.e. the version from redbo with patches from Am1GO. Thanks to maple52046 (maple52046 at gmail com).
Partclone-utils was updated to 0.4.1.
When option "-k1" or "-k2" in the TUI is chosen, "-icds" is on automatically.
Add "-batch" in the TUI for expert saving mode.
Provide an option to mount image repository again when failing in ocs-live-repository. "ask_user" is a reserved name to be used as the Samba domain and account and SSHFS account in the URI so that user can input their own names. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for these ideas.
If failing to mount sshfs and samba server as image repository, clonezilla now asks if retrying.
Use shorter name for fsck-related options, i.e. "-fsck-src-part" is replaced by "-fsck", and "-fsck-src-part-y" is replaced by "-fsck-y".
Reuse the parsed partition info when detecting the data/swap/extended partitions. Thanks to starnavi for this suggestion. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba256b4b
Add support for device /dev/nbd. Thanks to Mircea Dan for this suggestion. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Help/
thread/d2d2a480/
Boot parameter ocs_preload now supports mount command for nfs/cifs to preload files. E.g. ocs_preload="mount -t cifs //192.168.120.2/images/ / tmp/cifs -o user=administrator,password=yourpasswd" will preload files on cifs server to /opt/ in Clonezilla live environment.
Add a mechanism so that image repository can be auto mounted with boot parameter ocs_repository in URI format, e.g. ocs_repository="dev:///dev/
sdf1" or ocs_repository="smb://wa-domain;jack:mypass@192.168.7.25/ images". Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet
edu) for this idea.
Live-boot was updated so that its toram parameter can be assigned as multiple modules (e.g. "live,syslinux")
Add supporting for grub on EBR (Extended Boot Record) imaging and cloning. Thanks to Bill Wright (bill at blug org) for reporting this issue.
BUG FIXES:
Failed to mount OpenStack swift image repository. Thanks to maple52046 (maple52046 at gmail com) for reporting this issue.
Failed to restore the boot loader on EBR (Extended Boot Record). Thanks to Bill Wright (bill at blug org) for reporting this issue.
MBR (executable code area) data should be restored even it's GPT disk. Some OS, e.g. ESXi 5.5 need that. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/30662778/

What is new in version 2.4.6-9:

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES:
The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Feb/03).
Linux kernel was updated to 4.3.3-7. From Linux kernel v4, the default union file system has been changed to overlay, therefore if you edit boot parameter manually, you have to use "union=overlay". No more using "union=aufs". Due to the linux kernel change in Debian repository, no more i586 linux kernel, so now Debian-based Clonezilla live is only released with 3 architectures: i686, i686-pae and amd64.
Partclone was updated to 0.2.87-drbl2. A fat16 issue was fixed. Thanks to Aukasz Stefanowicz for reporting this. (http://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/237/)
New file system nilfs2 is supported in this release.
Now ocs-onthefly supports nvme device cloning, and can work for different types of disk cloning, e.g. nvme0n1 -> sda or vice versa.
Make ocs-install-grub run when it's a GPT disk with a special "bios_boot" partition exists in the machine using legacy BIOS.
By default the image integrity will be checked before restoring. The option "-scr" can be used to skip this checking. Thanks to Nabi OUMAROV (contact _at_ nabioumarov com) for the feedback.
The option "-sc" was replaced by "-scs" in drbl-ocs and ocs-sr. This will be easier to tell the differences between saving and restoring image. Option "-sc" is still working in the same way with "-scs", but might be dropped in the future.
Packages fatresize, nilfs-tools and fancontrol were added.
Add removing swapfile.sys in ocs-rm-win-swap-hib. Thanks to Bartosz BAtorek batorek _at_ gmail com> for suggesting this.
BUG FIXES:
The size with more than one partition not expanding should be added to the later partition in ocs-expand-gpt-pt.
"Shoutdown" should be "Desligar" in luanguage file pt_BR. Thanks to Luciano (lboni2 _at_ yahoo com br) for correcting this.
Use parted to fill the last partitition to the end of disk because there might be some resudial in the calculation of ocs-expand-gpt-pt. Thanks to Conan for this suggestion. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/c5e92d87/?limit=25#080c
Avoiding TUI messages overriding the error messages in ocs-live-restore. Thanks to Stew Fisher fisher _at_ oncology ox ac uk> for reporting this issue.
Avoid using the preserved word of grub2 "prefix" in the grub.cfg. Thanks to Joey3000. (https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/13)
Failed to deal with partition name with extra "p", like: *cciss*, *mmcblk*, *md*, *rd*, *ida*, *nvme*, Thanks to quozl for reporting this bug. (https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/14)
Use fatresize to resize FAT file system instead of parted since resize function is no more in parted >= 3. Thanks to quozl for reporting this bug. (https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/16)
