presented release of Linux-Distribution clonezilla live 3.0.3 designed for quick cloning of the disks (only the blocks used are copied). The tasks performed by the distribution are similar to the proprietary product Norton Ghost. Size ISO -image Distribution – 334 MB (i686, AMD64). Linux and in its work uses a code of projects such as DRBL, Partition Image, NTFSCLONE, PARTCLONE, UDPCAST. Loading with CD/DVD, USB Flash and network (PXE) is possible. LVM2 and FS EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, Reiserfs, Reiser4, XFS, JFS, BTRFS, F2FS, NILFS2, FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, HFS+, UFS, Minix, VMFS3 and VMFS5 (VMware ESX) are supported. There is a mass cloning mode over the network, including with traffic transmission in a multicast mode, which allows you to cloning the original disc for a large number of client machines at a time. Perhaps both cloning from one disk to another, and the creation of backup copies through maintaining a disk image to a file. Possibly cloning at the level of entire disks or individual sections.
In the new version:
- Synchronization with the Debian SID package base as of February 12.
- Linux nucleus is updated to a branch of 6.1 (it was kernel 6.0).
- Partclone tools are transferred to version 0.3.23, which updated the code to support BTRFS.
- The recovery menu shows the option “-j2”, disconnected by default.
- The conservation menu shows the pumping section, which can now be saved as regular sections with data. Two conservation modes are available: preserving only metadata (UUID/section label) and creating a full dump with a utility dd.
- Improved support for configurations with several encrypted LUKS.
- The Setterm has an option “-powersave off” to exclude the extinguishing of the console.
- Initramfs updating mechanism added support to the MkinitCpio utility, so it was possible to solve problems with the restoration of Arch and Manjaro Linux.
- The composition of the new OCS-Live-Wer utility for showing the version of Clonezilla Live.
- OCS-BTTRACK utility is replaced by Opentracker, as Python 2 is excluded from the supply of Debian Sid.
- Memtest86+ memory testing utility is updated to version 6.00.
