Clonezilla

Making a Clonezilla IMAGE of a DISK

An image is compressed and can backup to a smaller drive.

 It cannot be adjusted in size.
 Could not get it to work from usb; had to be from another drive directly installed in computer.

When backing up to an image, you specify the TARGET FIRST!

 Once the TARGET is set, you should specify the SOURCE SECOND.

Most everything is setup in DEFAULT MODE. Very little has to chance. Beginner mode makes things simpler and is
fine.

Steps to CLONE an IMAGE:

1. Boot into Clonezilla.

2. Default- OK - English Language

3. Default- OK - Don't Touch Keymap

4. Default- OK - Start Clonezilla (no command line)

5. Default- OK - Device to Image (We are working with Images)

6. Default- OK - local_dev - TARGET (Where Image is to be SAVED)

7. ENTER to Continue

8. CHOOSE TARGET (Where Image is to be SAVED) - Image REPOSITORY

9. CHOOSE TARGET (What is being SAVED to IMAGE)

o Default- OK - / This is ROOT -

10. ENTER to Continue

11. Default- OK - Beginner Mode to keep it simple (Expert is not that hard)

12. CHOOSE- This is the ACTION that Clonezilla is taking (clone, restore, encrypt, disk, partition...)
o I choose Savedisk because that is what I am doing.

13. CHOOSE NAME of Image (In case you have more than one image there)

14. CHOSE SOURCE DISK (The Disk you are Imaging)

15. Default- OK - SKIP Checking the image before imaging

16. Default- OK - Check the image after imaging

 17. Default- OK - Do not Encrypt

18. ENTER to Continue

19. IMAGE is being CLONED & CHECKED!

NOTE: Do not forget to RESET PERMISSIONS Immediately, or you will not be able to use it later.
