Thank you very much for the kind words! I hope to be putting out more videos again with my new camera :)

Great video! U are using an older version than the current version out there obviously because this video is three years old but, this definitely helped me backup my system before my hard drive crashed! Thanks for putting this together!

[PC-Addicts]

You are welcome... thanks for the comment - you might want to take a look at a newer video I made on this topic using REDO - I like it a lot better now.

I went to a tour at dell today, and they showed us the SE version of clonezilla and its epic, imaged 15 machines in like 3 mins.

I believe you can with one of the options I believe Clonezilla can do a disc to disc copy say your preparing the system and or are replacing the hard drive this software can do this.

[PC-Addicts]

Like the name! Not sure the exact question though. If you are wanting to copy an application that was installed in Windows over to a new computer, it depends on how the software is designed. More than likely you will not be able to do this.

@benjenings I knew how to burn an image but after I asked the question i found out I had downloaded just the files not the iso and I was getting instructions everywhere on what to do with the iso, not the files, and i got confused

Hey, what external hard drive do you use? I almost lost all of my data on linux today, so i really want to backup my data now. thanks

@Reecie5699 You are welcome! Let me know how it goes!

One of the problems that I had was to want to upgrade a system disk to a larger disk [Ubuntu 10.04]. I used GParted Live CD and had to then repair the grub config so the new disk would boot - Folks in a forum helped. Maybe clonezilla would have done this automatically. Sure would be nice. Suggest for a future video / series is how to do this for Windows and Ubuntu systems using Clonezilla or other better program including how to make sure that new sys will boot.
Thanks.Nice videos.

Have new HP laptop with Window 7 constantly getting corrupted and HP only answer? Format and reload everything again. Does Clonezilla work on Windows 7 yet? These comments says no.
If yes, You created an image but will it work equally well if on an UDB HD I create partitions like my laptop (sys, main partition for data and data) and copy to the USB HD then can restore back to the C drive later to avoid reloading?

Awesome. Thanks. It would be nice if they had a better GUI and the prompts it asks are a little clearer for noobs. But I've used clonezilla for 2 years now and it's fantastic. Linux rocks!!

[Reecie]

How do you burn the disk? Please respond!

[fallenspirit]

@PCAddictsLive Yeah, it was awesome because one of the server admins was using Ubuntu as their server OS
