• Unattended mode is supported
• Almost all steps can be done via commands and options
• You can also use a lot of boot parameters to customize your own imaging and cloning
• One image restoring to multiple local devices is supported
• Image could be encrypted
• This is done with ecryptfs, a POSIX-compliant enterprise cryptographic stacked filesystem
• Multicast is supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for massive clone
• You can also remotely use it to save or restore a bunch of computers if PXE and Wake-on-LAN are supported in your clients
• Bittorrent (BT) is supported in Clonezilla lite server, which is suitable for massive deployment
• The job for BT mode is done by Ezio
• The image file can be on local disk, ssh server, samba server, NFS server or WebDAV server
• AES-256 encryption could be used to secures data access, storage and transfer
• Based on Partclone (default), Partimage (optional), ntfsclone (optional), or dd to image or clone a partition
• However, Clonezilla, containing some other programs, can save and restore not only partitions, but also a whole disk
• By using another free software drbl-winroll, which is also developed by us, the hostname, group, and SID of cloned MS windows machine can be automatically changed

• g
• CD/DVD Drive, USB port, PXE, or hard drive
• The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one
• Differential/incremental backup is not implemented yet
• Online imaging/cloning is not implemented yet
• The partition to be imaged or cloned has to be unmounted
• Due to the image format limitation, the image can not be explored or mounted
• You can NOT recovery single file from the image
• However, you still have workaround to make it, read this
• Recovery Clonezilla live with multiple CDs or DVDs is not implemented yet
• Now all the files have to be in one CD or DVD if you choose to create the recovery iso file

Which Clonezilla Shall I Use ?

• Clonezilla Live: Clonezilla live allows you to use CD/DVD or USB flash drive to boot and run clonezilla (Unicast only)
• Clonezilla lite server: Clonezilla lite server allows you to use Clonezilla live to do massively cloning (unicast, broadcast, multicast, bittorrent are supported)
• Clonezilla SE: Clonezilla SE is included in DRBL, therefore a DRBL server must first be set up in order to use Clonezilla to do massively cloning (unicast, broadcast and multicast are supported)
