Much less time than it would take if we did it one by one using the normal method. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Alicia Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/20/2019 "Clonezilla." 4/5 What do you like best about Clonezilla? Clonezilla is a program based on open-source licenses, it is free and cross-platform. Its purpose is to help us in the event of a serious data loss by allowing us to recover from disasters. It can also be very helpful when it comes to cloning disks and partitions. Its mode of operation is to carry out a backup of the system or to save a copy and reproduce it on all the computers where it is to be implemented. Another possibility offered by Clonezilla is to do it from a network server, as the image can reside on the hard drive, via ssh, samba server, or an NFS server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clonezilla? Obsolete interface. An external storage device is necessary, such as a bootable USB or a CD or DVD to boot directly with Clonezilla. This task is not difficult to perform, but it is not suitable for novice users, as it requires entering the computer's BIOS to edit the boot order of the storage units. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Clonezilla: It is free. It is very useful. It saves a lot of time in case you need to install the same operating system and software on multiple computers. RECOMMENDED! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Clonezilla application belongs to the category of applications that are part of the passive security software group, as it allows us to attempt disaster recovery or massive data loss. It is used for cloning disk volumes and their partitions. It is like the free software version similar to Norton Ghost, which means it will be free. Once the cloning of a disk, volume, or partition is done, you can save it as an image file and transfer it to a USB drive, DVD or CD, a NAS server via SSH, SAMBA server, etc. It also facilitates the work of installing operating systems with all the necessary applications integrated into many workstations with identical technical characteristics. This would be done by performing an initial installation and then cloning that machine. Instead of reinstalling the OS and all the necessary applications on each computer, you can clone that image on each workstation. But remember, they must be identical machines in terms of hardware resources!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clonezilla? It's somewhat complicated to download the necessary version from the web and complete the entire process, as you need an empty USB drive or a blank DVD or CD to copy it, since it boots via a bootable CD. You must have sufficient knowledge to make changes in the computer's BIOS to change the boot method, as we need it to boot from the DVD or USB drive before the main hard drive, before starting the cloning process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Clonezilla: Use it, it will make the task much easier for you in case of a disaster or having to perform multiple installations on identical machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clonezilla solving and how is that benefiting you? It makes it easier for us to install the operating systems on the 30 computers (all identical in terms of features) that we have in each classroom, because since they are all the same, it is only necessary to perform the traditional installation on one, with the 15 or 20 applications that each student will need, and then cloning is done and it is installed ultra-fast on each computer in the classroom.
