Mechanical Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/4/2021 "A great tool for backup and hard disk cloning!" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Clonezilla? - It is easy to use to create or restore images or direct clones of partitions or whole disks: just boot from the CD or pendrive and follow the step-by-step wizard. - It is open-source software so just don't care about licenses: it is "your" software! Copy it, use it, study its source code, share it! - It can save images to (and restore from) local disk or ssh/samba/NFS/WebDAV servers. - compressed images are smaller than the original partitions, and only the used sectors are stored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clonezilla? - character user interface can look a little obsolete (but it is very efficient and takes little resources). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clonezilla solving and how is that benefiting you? Backup of non-Windows systems, disk cloning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Soporte Técnico de Sistemas Microinformáticos y Redes Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/18/2018 "Clonezilla" 5/5 What do you like best about Clonezilla? Clonezilla is a very useful free open-source software tool because it can save you a lot of work time as a systems technician when installing operating systems on computers with identical characteristics. It also becomes miraculous in cases of disaster on a computer due to viruses and such. Once the data is saved, the computer can be restored to a freshly formatted state thanks to Clonezilla. All this is possible because by booting from a Clonezilla USB or DVD, a program starts that allows us to make an exact copy of our disk image, all from a pleasant and simple user interface. Even if it has an operating system installed. With the Clonezilla server version, you can even clone numerous computers over a network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clonezilla? It is necessary to have technical knowledge about handling BIOS in computer equipment, as you will need to change the boot mode to the device where you have the Clonezilla boot. Therefore, for a systems IT professional, it is very simple but not so for the average user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Clonezilla: Without a doubt, a great tool that for an investment of 0 will save you time in your equipment maintenance work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clonezilla solving and how is that benefiting you? It has saved me a lot of work in the installation we did for an office with 25 identical computer stations. Instead of having to go one by one, a single installation was done and then simply with a USB drive and Clonezilla we made an image of the PC that was quickly reproduced on each and every PC in the office's LAN network. Also, in cases of virus attacks, you can quickly restore the computer to the same performance as the first day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we run Clonezilla, the first thing we need to know is that we are using a program whose license is based on free software licenses, which makes it free. Its positive points are: - Very lightweight, intuitive, and useful software. - It will allow us to create disk images, which we can recover in case of disasters, data loss, or simply to make copies of the hard drive and environment for computers with identical technical characteristics, which facilitates the preparation time of equipment. - It is cross-platform and free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clonezilla? The worst thing about Clonezilla is that it must be used by personnel with knowledge of computer security and system administration, as it requires modifying certain aspects of the system's boot in the BIOS. Otherwise, it is very intuitive and fulfills its purpose, so there are no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Clonezilla: Very useful for saving time in the installation of operating systems and applications on multiple computers, by being able to create hard drive images. It will also be useful for you by being able to use these images as a backup of a computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clonezilla solving and how is that benefiting you? It is used when a computer in a computer lab becomes misconfigured or infected with a virus, and it needs to be recovered quickly. This can be done by restoring the image with Clonezilla quickly, easily, and without having to pay for expensive licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Systems Administrator Information Technology and Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/31/2018 "Clonezilla Straight-Forward Imaging" 5/5 What do you like best about Clonezilla? Clonezilla's greatest strength is that it's powerful and simple to use. In most cases you boot it up, select your choices, and let it run. Once you have a grasp of the program it is probably the best straight up imaging tools available out there. Not to mention it's free and easy to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clonezilla? The interface does leave some to be desired. For this kind of work though you don't really need it to be flashy. Also the first time through can be kind of daunting due to the language, so google up some know how and should be fine. It should also be known that the documentation in the program itself leaves room for some confusion to arise. Unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing before you do it because there is a great risk of data loss if you mess things up. Of course this is true in any kind of imaging product when you are trying to restore data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Clonezilla: Clonezilla is a very useful but powerful product. You can get it for free and if you don't know what you are doing you can do some damage. A few google searches some help you through your first time or two. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clonezilla solving and how is that benefiting you? Clonezilla solves the problem of being able to image machines quickly without a price tag that comes on some of its competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clonezilla is a software that will allow you to create images of disk volumes or external storage devices to later restore them. That is, if you have a good strategy, in addition to serving as a backup mechanism, it will reduce your work time spent installing the operating system and main applications to a room of several computers with the same technical characteristics, since you can do it on the first one and then just restore the image on the rest. This program is free as it has a free software license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clonezilla? This program requires certain computer knowledge, so it is not that easy to use. Configure the machine to boot from our Clonezilla CD. Other than that, I can't say anything bad, because it more than fulfills the objectives for which it was created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Clonezilla: I recommend Clonezilla as a backup method to streamline the tasks of an IT administrator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clonezilla solving and how is that benefiting you? It saves us a lot of time when a computer in a classroom has virus problems or Windows registry file misconfiguration. All you have to do is restore an image of that PC with our Clonezilla and in 10 minutes the equipment is like new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
