Clonezilla is an open-source suite of disk cloning, disk imaging and system deployment utilities.[3][4][5] Clonezilla Server Edition uses multicast technologies to deploy a single image file to a group of computers on a local area network.[5] Clonezilla was designed by Steven Shiau and developed by the NCHC Free Software Labs in Taiwan.[6][7][8][9]
Clonezilla is used to deploy operating systems to computers by imaging a single computer and then deploying that image to one or more systems.[3][10] It integrates several other open-source programs to provide cloning and imaging capabilities.
Clonezilla works by copying used blocks on the storage device (i.e. SATA SSD, HDD or NVMe SSD).[4] It is intended to support a bare-metal deployment of an operating system by booting from a preinstalled live environment. The preinstallation environment can be booted from a USB flash drive, CD/DVD-ROM or Android mobile phone.[11][12][5] It uses Partclone, Ntfsclone, Partimage, or dd to image the drive either over the network or to a locally-attached hard disk drive.[4]
