release of a Linux distribution , designed for quick disk cloning (only used blocks are copied). Tasks performed by the distribution are similar to the proprietary product Norton Ghost. Size distribution — 265 MB (i686, amd64).
The distribution is based on Debian GNU/Linux and utilizes code from projects such as DRBL, Partition Image, ntfsclone, partclone, and udpcast. Booting is possible from CD/DVD, USB Flash, and over the network (PXE). LVM2 and file systems ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, xfs, jfs, FAT, NTFS, HFS+ (macOS), UFS, minix, and VMFS (VMware ESX) are supported. There is a mass cloning mode over the network, including traffic transmission in multicast mode, allowing the cloning of a source disk to many client machines simultaneously. Cloning can be done from one disk to another, or creating backups by saving disk images to a file. Cloning can be performed at the level of entire disks or individual partitions.
In the new version, synchronization with the Debian Sid package base has been carried out as of September 3. The Linux kernel has been updated to version 5.2 (previously 4.19), Partclone has been updated to version 0.3.13+git0819-2f1830e-drbl1, live-tools to version 20190627, and partclone-utils to the state of the repository as of August 29. The zfs-fuse module, which hasn’t been updated for a long time, has been removed from the distribution. For ZFS mounting support, openzfs can be used, which is available in of Clonezilla Live based on Ubuntu. The mechanism for generating a new machine identifier for GNU/Linux recovery has been updated.
