Clonezilla

Depends on the boot mode for the machine you want to boot with the USB flash drive, choose one of the following methods to setup Clonezilla Live on your USB flash drive using MS Windows:

uEFI boot mode (GPT)

1. Download the amd64 (x86-64) version of Clonezilla Live zip file.
2. If you already have a partition of at least 500 MB in size on your USB flash drive formatted with a FAT (not NTFS) file system then skip to the next step (3).
   Otherwise create at least a 500 MB partition on your USB flash drive and format it with a FAT16/FAT32 (not NTFS) file system.
3. Use unzip tool, e.g., 7-zip, to extract all the contents of the zip file to the FAT16/FAT32 partition on your USB flash drive. Make sure you have extracted all the directories and files, including the «.disk» dir and the files under it. Keep the directory architecture, for example, file «GPL» should be in the USB flash drive’s top directory (e.g. G:\GPL).
4. That’s all. You can boot this USB flash drive on a uEFI boot mode machine.

Legacy boot mode (MBR)

Choose one of the following methods to setup Clonezilla Live for legacy boot mode on your USB flash drive using MS Windows:

NOTE: If you use FAT file system in one of the above methods, the installed USB flash drive should be able to boot both on uEFI and legacy boot modes.

MS Windows Method A: Manual

WARNING! DO NOT RUN makeboot.bat from your local hard drive!
Doing so could cause your MS windows not to boot.

1. Download the Clonezilla Live zip file.

USB setup with GNU/Linux

Depends on the boot mode for the machine you want to boot with the USB flash drive, choose one of the following methods to setup Clonezilla Live on your USB flash drive using GNU/Linux:

uEFI boot mode (GPT)

1. Download the amd64 (x86-64) version of Clonezilla Live zip file.
2. If you already have a partition of at least 500 MB in size on your USB flash drive formatted with a FAT (not NTFS) file system then skip to the next step (3).
   Otherwise create at least a 500 MB partition on your USB flash drive and format it with a FAT16/FAT32 (not NTFS) file system.
3. Mount the FAT16/FAT32 file system of your USB flash drive, e.g., assuming the FAT16/FAT32 file system of your USB flash drive is /dev/sdg1,

If you have no pmount, you can run «sudo apt install pmount» to install it. Then unzip the clonezilla live amd64 zip file to the FAT16/FAT32 partition on your USB flash drive, e.g.,

# unzip clonezilla-live-2.7.3-21-amd64.zip -d /media/disk/

Legacy boot mode (MBR)

Choose one of the following methods to setup Clonezilla Live on your USB flash drive using GNU/Linux:

NOTE: If you use FAT file system in one of the above methods, the installed USB flash drive should be able to boot both on uEFI and legacy boot modes.

GNU/Linux Method A: Manual

WARNING! Confirm you have the correct path name before executing commands!
Failure to do so could cause loss of data or your GNU/Linux not to boot.
/dev/sdd is a device path name
/dev/sdd1 is a partition path name

1. Download the Clonezilla Live zip file.
2. If you already have a FAT or NTFS partition on your USB flash drive then skip to the next step (3).
   Otherwise prepare at least a 500 MB partition formatted with either a FAT16/FAT32 or NTFS file system.
   If the USB flash drive or USB hard drive does not have any partition, you can use a partitioning tool (e.g. gparted, parted, fdisk, cfdisk or sfdisk) to create a partition with a size of 500 MB or more.
   Here we assume your USB flash drive or USB hard drive is /dev/sdd ( You have to comfirm your device name, since it’s _NOT_ always /dev/sdd ) on your GNU/Linux, so the partition table is like:

# fdisk -l /dev/sdd Disk /dev/sdd: 12.8 GB, 12884901888 bytes 15 heads, 63 sectors/track, 26630 cylinders Units = cylinders of 945 * 512 = 483840 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000c2aa7 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdd1 * 1 26630 12582643+ b W95 FAT32

Then format the partition as FAT with a command such as «mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdd1»
WARNING! Executing the mkfs.vfat command on the wrong partition or device could cause your GNU/Linux not to boot. Be sure to confirm the command before you run it.

# mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdd1 mkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)

TIP: If your USB flash drive or USB hard drive is not able to boot, check the following:

• Ensure that your USB flash drive contains at least one FAT or NTFS partition.
• Ensure that the partition is marked as «bootable» in the partition table.
• Ensure that the partition starts on a cylinder boundary.
  For the first partition this is usually sector 63.

GNU/Linux Method B: Unetbootin

1. If you already have Unetbootin installed on your computer then skip to step 2.
   Otherwise install Unetbootin on your GNU/Linux computer.
2. Download the Clonezilla Live iso file.
3. From GNU/Linux, run the Unetbootin program and follow the instructions in the GUI to install Clonezilla Live on your USB flash drive.
   NOTE: The boot menu created by Unetbootin is not exactly the same as the boot menu created in method A. Therefore it is recommended to use method A.

USB setup with MacOS

The following method can be used to setup Clonezilla Live on your USB flash drive using MacOS:

MacOS Method: balenaEtcher

1. Download the Clonezilla Live iso file.
2. Insert a USB flash drive on the Mac machine.
3. Erase it using the standard Mac Disk Utility (exFAT works fine).
4. Download balenaEtcher for MacOS, then follow its document to burn the image to the USB flash drive.
5. Eject the USB drive. Thanks to Hans Palm for providing this info.

Создание резервной копии с помощью Clonezilla

В данной статье показано как создать резервную копию (образ) жесткого диска с помощью функционального дистрибутива на основе linux — Clonezilla. Скачать iso образ можно c официального сайта CloneZilla

Записать его на флеш-накопитель можно с помощью утилиты UNetbootin.

Создание резервной копии с помощью Clonezilla

Создав загрузочный флеш-накопитель с Clonezilla, загружаемся с него (нажатие f+12 при загрузке или выставление приоритета загрузки в Bios).

Перед нами откроется следующее окно:

Выбираем русский язык, затем Затем выбираем «Не трогать раскладку»:

В появившемся окошке выбираем «Запустить Clonezilla»:

Затем выбираем device-image, для работы с дисками и разделами:

Затем выбираем local-dev, так как будем сохранять на флешку.
Стоит выбирать этот пункт также, если хотите сохранить на внешний или локальный жесткий диск:

Далее выбираем жесткий диск или другой съёмный носитель, на который сохраним резервную копию, в данном случае используется флеш накопитель:

Выбираем каталог на носителе, в котором будем сохранять снимаемый образ:

Затем пойдет проверка. Когда она закончится, просто нажмите «enter»:

Теперь откроется «Выбор режима настроек», выбираем режим «Beginner» (новичка):

Выбираем режим сохранения образа, где:
savedisk — сохранить диск полностью,
saveparts — сохранить отдельные разделы
(в нашем случае выбран savedisk, так как делаем полную копию диска):

Ввод имени образа и для хорошей ориентации указываем дату создания:

Далее выбираем диск, образ которого собираемся сделать:

Отметка будем ли проверять диск перед созданием образа:

Отметка будем ли проверять образ после завершения процесса клонирования:

Далее отвечаем на пару вопросов, нажатием «y» и «Enter»:

Собственно сам процесс создания образа диска:

После завершения процесса клонирования, в папке указанной в процессе настройки, будет список файлов, данную резервную копию вы можете восстановить на любом необходимом (но совместимом) оборудовании.

В следующей статье будет подробно показано, как восстановить образ диска сделанного при помощи Clonezilla.
