The other alternative is creating images for partitions or disks to a hard disk, either local or mounted on the network resource through SMB, SHH, or NFS. As a result, Clonezilla can clone blocks of data from a hard disk directly from one disk to another. Clonezilla is based on the partclone utility, thus its capability in disk and partition imaging. It is a cross-platform disk imaging and cloning software with distributions dedicated to Windows, Mac OS X, Minix, and Linux. This is where we need the aid of cloning software like Clonezilla, which is ideal in replicating an operating system, software, patches, and drives. The only challenge with this approach can copy hidden files and folders and the files that are in use. The simplest and easiest way to attain this is through the copy-and-paste approach. Disk cloning entails data copying from one disk to a secondary disk to create an exact copy of an already existing disk.
