Clonezilla is an open source tool similar to the popular Norton Ghost. With this tool, you can create a backup copy and restore your computer in case something goes wrong. This operation can be done by recording the downloaded image directly to his DVD or via a USB device (the creator’s own website includes a brief tutorial).

The application also supports an unattended mode, so you can “skip” almost any step by programming with different commands. Clonezilla is one of the most efficient ways to create a backup copy of your hard drive. Its interface isn’t particularly friendly and may put off the less brave, but once you take the reins, you’ll find it’s full of interesting possibilities.
