See sources How to Copy and ISO to a USB Drive from Mac OS X with dd.
Flawless back-up and imaging tool. Boots fast from tiny USB stick. Supports all my computing equipment including a 2004 ShuttleX w- puny Pentium4.
Good program.
The best creator and editor of partitions. It has helped me to migrate system installations in an easy and enjoyable way.
The best! I've been using it for years and it never failed me. I regularly (one a week) create and save images of my Debian and Clonezilla Works like a charm. Clonezilla is very good because it consider the used space only and the compressed image is very small (I guess 50% of the used space) so you won't have to dedicate a whole big disk for your images. I recently switched from HHD to SSD on my old laptop and Clonezilla copied it perfectly. In the last year it also became very easy to connect using WiFi, thanks to nmtui (in the previous versions it was a mess: you had to waste your time configuring everything step by step). I appreciate the richness of other CLI tools too: ddrescue, testdisk and so on, that allow you to use it as a regular admin live. The only thing I miss is Gparted but it requires a graphical environment, so it cannot be added to Clonezilla. Support is excellent: Steven is very nice and the community is very active. Thanks to Steven and all developers! :-)
I love and use this project too much in my classroom. This project helps me to maintain updated computers at school.

Features:
Many File systems are supported: (1) ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, btrfs, f2fs and nilfs2 of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS of MS Windows, (3) HFS+ of Mac OS, (4) UFS of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, (5) minix of Minix, and (6) VMFS3 and VMFS5 of VMWare ESX. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows, Intel-based Mac OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Minix, VMWare ESX and Chrome OS/Chromium OS, 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 by Partclone. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in Clonezilla.
LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported.
Boot loader, including grub (version 1 and version 2) and syslinux, could be reinstalled.
Both MBR and GPT partition formats of hard drive are supported. Clonezilla live also can be booted on a BIOS or uEFI machine.
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 clone. 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.
