What is Clonezilla? You're probably familiar with the popular proprietary commercial package Norton Ghost®. The problem with these kind of software packages is that it takes a lot of time to massively clone systems to many computers. You've probably also heard of Symantec's solution to this problem, Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition® with multicasting. Well, now there is an OpenSource clone system (OCS) solution called Clonezilla with unicasting and multicasting! Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partclone and udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (server edition).

Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone efficiency.

Clonezilla Software Raid 0 1. Summary: Want to clone raid 0 to SSD or single. EaseUS Todo Backup is a reliable raid cloning software that can clone RAID 0.

At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting!

Features: • Free (GPL) Software. • Filesystem supported: (1) ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT, NTFS of MS Windows, (3) HFS+ of Mac OS, (4) UFS of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, and (5) VMFS of VMWare ESX. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows, Intel-based Mac OS, and FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, 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. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in Clonezilla.

Call Of Duty 2 Zombie Mod Download. • LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported. • Grub (version 1 and version 2) is supported. • 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. • Multicast is supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for massively 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. • The image file can be on local disk, ssh server, samba server, or NFS server. • 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. Minimum System Requirements for Clonezilla live: • X86 or x86-64 processor • 196 MB of system memory (RAM) • Boot device, e.g. CD/DVD Drive, USB port, PXE, or hard drive Limitations: • 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.

• Software RAID/fake RAID is not supported by default. It's can be done manually only. • 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. License: Clonezilla itself is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2.

However, to run Clonezilla, a lot of free and open source software, e.g. Visual Studio 2013 Professional Download Iso Trial. The Linux kernel, a mininal GNU/Linux OS, are required.

I have a not-so-recent HP desktop PC (model# m9510f, Q8200 CPU - I think it was manufactured in early 2009 sometime, because it still had Vista 64-bit). I've set it up with a pair of 500GB drives that I want to run in RAID0 striped mode (for higher performance and lower reliability). I've successfully setup the RAID in the BIOS, and it is recognized at boot time. Only problem is, Clonezilla won't recognize the RAID0, so I can't very well restore the OS. I could just reinstall from the recovery disks, but then I suppose I also won't be able to make Clonezilla backups either. Clonezilla only sees the individual drives.

What's the best way to get around this issue? Clonezilla doesn't support software-based or firmware-based (aka 'FakeRAID') arrays. From what I understand your HP system has an Asus-made MB in it with an Intel ICH9R chipset. If you used that to make your RAID 0 then Clonezilla can't do anything with it. From their (under 'Limitations'): Software RAID/fake RAID is not supported by default.

From their: Q: Does Clonezilla support RAID? A: Clonezilla does support hardware RAID, if your RAID device is seen as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/cciss/c0d0. On GNU/Linux. Clonezilla does support this.

On the other hand, if it's Linux software RAID, no, Clonezilla does not support that. See for a recent Clonezilla forum thread about using it (or rather, NOT using it) with firmware-based arrays. Can't help you with Clonezilla as it appears from the previous poster that it simply will not work.

If that's the case, use something else. Want free (as in no license fee)? Then you can use Microsoft's ImageX program.

Image your old system with that to an external drive, then restore it. ImageX is a command line tool that is freely available within the Windows Automated Installation Kit. Using that kit, you can (if necessary) create a WinPE boot DVD that includes imagex and the drivers for your RAID controller.

If windows can see the drive as you want it, you can deploy the image (note: if your Vista install (or whatever version of Windows you use) doesn't have the appropriate drivers for the RAID controller IN windows, then it may not boot at all - it would be wise to install the drivers BEFORE making the image). There could still be other issues - a possible need to make the drive partition 'active'. But the imaging part of the problem should be solved with this solution. During my Google search for this problem, I saw a post that I thought was interesting, and worked for me when I tried it. (Caution: this only works for RAID 1 and possibly RAID 10). Unplug one of the drives.

Then boot clonezilla. The RAID array will be 'degraded'. Then restore the image to the active drive, shutdown, plug the drive back in, and the array will rebuild. I'm currently watching a copy I just made this way and it seems to have worked great.

The trick is that, since this is software RAID, the RAID info is stored on the drive. I only restored the partition, not the full drive, and I left the MBR as is (using the clonezilla advanced options). Make a comment if other options worked for you.

Edit: I'm testing with a Dell Precision 390, with the Intel Matrix RAID built into the motherboard. You can manually activate RAID support in Clonezilla. YMMV on success.

The clonezilla image must have kpartx and dmraid as well as the necessary modules. Running 'dmraid -ay' should activate all the RAID arrays if your array is MBR-formatted. This is usually not the case for UEFI machines which are GPT-formatted, you need to add the command 'kpartx -a' after running dmraid to activate GPT arrays. Once activated the arrays should be available via /dev/mapper However, even after RAID is activated, you need to manage the backups or restoration manually. This means it's up to you to issue the backup command from command prompt.

Clonezilla does not allow selecting volumes from /dev/mapper, but it's not an issue if you call the backup command like partimage and point it at the volume directly. You will also need to backup the disk parameters, that should be doable using gdisk.
