It saves and restores only used blocks in hard drive.<br /> <br /> Features of Clonezilla<br /> <br /> * Free (GPL) Software.<br /> * Filesystem supported: ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, and FAT, NTFS of M$ Windows. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux or M$ windows. For other file system, Clonezilla uses dd to dump the whole partition.<br /> * LVM2 under GNU/Linux is supported.<br /> * Based on Partimage, ntfsclone and dd to clone partition. However, clonezilla, containing some other programs, can save and restore not only partitions, but also a whole disk.<br /> * If file system is supported (ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs, fat, ntfs), only used blocks in harddisk are saved and restored. This increase the clone efficiency. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in Clonezilla. <br /> <br /> Requirements:<br /> <br /> * A working DHCP, PXE, TFTP, and NFS server<br /> * Clonezilla LiveCD <br /> <br /> References:<br /> <br /> *<br /> <br /> Clonezilla: http://www.clonezilla.org/<br /> *<br /> <br /> Clonezilla LiveCD Download: http://www.clonezilla.org/download/sourceforge/ <br /> <br /> NFS Server Config:<br /> <br /> Setup directories<br /> <br /> mkdir -p /mnt/isoimage <br /> mkdir -p /exports/clonezilla<br /> <br /> Download the clonezilla-live-$LATESTVERSION.iso to /tmp<br /> <br /> Mount the iso image and copy contents to the export directory.<br /> <br /> mount -o loop /tmp/clonezilla-live-$LATESTVERSION.iso /mnt/isoimage <br /> cp -a /mnt/isoimage/. /exports/clonezilla<br /> umount /mnt/isoimage <br /> <br /> Restart NFS<br /> <br /> add /exports/clonezilla *(ro,sync) /etc/exports<br /> service nfs restart<br /> exportfs -ra <br /> <br /> Tftp Server Config:<br /> <br /> Setup directories<br /> <br /> mkdir -p /tmp/clonezilla<br /> mkdir /mnt/isoimage<br /> mkdir /tftpboot/images/clonezilla/<br /> <br /> Mount the Clonezilla iso image and copy the boot files to the clonzilla tftp server directory.<br /> <br /> mount -o loop clonezilla-live-$LATESTVERSION.iso /mnt/isoimage <br /> cp /mnt/isoimage/casper/initrd1.img /tftpboot/images/clonezilla/initrd.gz<br /> cp /mnt/isoimage/casper/vmlinuz1 /tftpboot/images/clonezilla/vmlinuz<br /> <br /> umount /mnt/isoimage <br /> <br /> PXE menu entry<br /> <br /> MENU DEFAULT<br /> MENU LABEL Clonezilla live<br /> <br /> label clonezilla<br /> kernel images/clonezilla/vmlinuz<br /> # Older Clonezilla<br /> # append initrd=images/clonezilla/initrd.gz boot=casper netboot nfsroot=$NFSSERVER:$NFSEXPORT<br /> # Clonezilla 1.1.0-8<br /> append initrd=images/clonezilla/initrd.gz boot=live union=aufs netboot=nfs nfsroot=$NFSSERVER:$NFSEXPORT</div>
