Clonezilla – Free Disk Imaging

There’s been many, many, many times I’ve had to re-image a hard drive. At my first job after I moved to a new city, we used “Zen Image” to pull a disk image over the network for deploying new PC’s at a school. My most recent job we use it to clone a customers hard drive and move it to a new hard drive.
Disk imaging is a quick and easy process with various types of software. Most are made in Linux. I’ve used Acronis, which can be found for free if you get it from Seagate, Maxtor, or Western-Digital. Of course it is re-branded but it’s not that big of a deal.
Anyways, to the point.
Clonezilla is a free disk imaging utility that pretty much anyone can use, assuming you know what disk cloning, imaging, reimaging, etc. even mean.
Consider this more of a resource for all the IT people out there, although they probably already know about it.
Clonezilla has pretty much the same features as many other disk imaging utilities. Save/Restore disk, Save/Restore partitions, etc.
Give it a try. To get it, head to their website which can be found here if you didn’t see the links above.
