lonezilla 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. Three types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live, Clonezilla lite server, and Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla lite server or SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the hard disk. This increases the clone efficiency.
Many File systems are supported: (1) ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, btrfs, f2fs and nilfs2 of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, exFAT and NTFS of MS Windows, (3) HFS+ and APFS of Mac OS, (4) UFS of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, (5) minix of Minix, and (6) VMFS3 and VMFS5 of VMWare ESX. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows, Intel-based Mac OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Minix, VMWare ESX and Chrome OS/Chromium OS, no matter it's 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) OS. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved and restored by Partclone. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in Clonezilla.
LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported.
LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) is supported.
Boot loader, including grub (version 1

lt;div class="markdown_content" gt; lt;h1 id="this-release-of-clonezilla-live-320-5-includes-major-enhancements-and--" gt;This release of Clonezilla live (3.2.0-5) includes major enhancements and. lt;/h1 gt;.
lt;h2 id="enhancements-and-changes-from-313-16" gt;ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 3.1.3-16 lt;/h2 gt;.
lt;ul gt;.
lt;li gt;The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2024/Jul/15). lt;/li gt;.
lt;li gt;Linux kernel was updated to 6.11.2-1. lt;/li gt;.
lt;li gt;Removed wireless-tools from live system since it's not available in packages repo. Package iw should have same function, which is already included in live system. Ref: lt;a href="https://.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wireless-tools/+/2075850" rel="nofollow" gt;https://.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wireless-tools/+/2075850 lt;/a gt; lt;/li gt;.
lt;li gt;Package reiser4progs was removed from live system. lt;/li gt;.
lt;li gt;Program ocs-scan-disk: use lsblk so the codes is neater. The block device with file system (e.g., sda has ntfs file system) can be correctly shown now. Ref: lt;a href="https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla//67" rel="nofollow" gt;https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla//67 lt;/a gt; lt;/li gt;.
lt;li gt;Merged zstd and zstdmt, use "zstd -T0" by default. Hence the following extra_zstdmt_ variables are dropped: extra_zstdmt_opt, extra_zstdmt_dc_opt, extra_zstdmt_opt_onthefly amp;amp; extra_zstdmt_dc_opt_onthefly. This will be easier for user to customize that using boot parameters. Now only available variables for zstd are: extra_zstd_opt, extra_zstd_dc_opt, extra_zstd_opt_onthefly amp;amp; extra_zstd_dc_opt_onthefly. Thanks to trfl for asking.

lt;li gt;A workaround to solve LUKS+CIFS+Encrypt. There is an for a combination of the source disk being LUKS, the image repo being SMB share, and choosing to encrypt the saved image.
