Topic: Free Backup tool : CLONEZILLA

Hi all,
Like it is mentioned on the official GParted site, working with partitions is not a simple pastime ; it is important to make a complete backup of partition, before !
Here is a very nice tool : clonezilla : http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/
ATM you can just use US keymaps, but it works very nice, using local or remote backup possibilities ; it is able to backup : ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, and FAT, NTFS of M$ Windows.

Must add it make a backup of mbr too ! You can find 5 files when backing up : mbr; hd geometry ; partitions ; partition backed up ; and the partition image of course. Really nice, isn't it ?

So please consider it is a real luck to have such a free product, and use it !

Hi, Larry!!!

I have suggested to Steven from the Clonezilla team that it would be an excellent tool if it was possible to make a LiveCD containing BOTH tools Clonezilla + GParted. I think he agrees (...although it will take some effort to integrate...). It is worth a try...
