Clonezilla is een opensourceprogramma waarmee diskimages kunnen worden gemaakt. Het is onder andere mogelijk om back-ups van partities of van de hele harde schijf te maken, of een kopie van een harde schijf: een zogeheten kloon. Clonezilla is daarmee een opensourcevariant van Macrium Reflect en Acronis True Image. Het geheel is gebaseerd op een Debian-distributie en het maakt gebruik van DRBL, Partclone en udpcast. Clonezilla live is bedoeld voor losse computers, terwijl er met Clonezilla server tot wel veertig computers tegelijk van een image voorzien kunnen worden. Er is met versienummer 3.3.0-33 een nieuwe stabiele uitgave van Clonezilla verschenen en de changelog van die uitgave ziet er als volgt uit:
Enhancements and changesBug fixes
- The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2025/Oct/17).
- The Linux kernel was updated to 6.16.12-1.
- Partclone was updated to 0.3.38, which includes a fix for a btrfs-related issue.
- Added a new program, ocs-blkdev-sorter, which allows udev to create Clonezilla alias block devices in /dev/ocs-disks/. This is used by the udev rule 99-ocs-sorted-disks.rules.
- Added the "-uoab" option to ocs-sr and ocs-live-feed-img to support selecting Clonezilla alias block device names in the TUI. This experimental feature addresses the random ordering of kernel block devices and can currently only be enabled via a command-line parameter.
- Improved the performance of ocs-get-dev-info.
- Improved ocs-blk-dev-info to ensure 'jq' works correctly in some cases and to increase efficiency.
- Added ocs-cmd-screen-sample, which can be used with the "run again" script. It works with screen, tmux, and the console.
- Added support for imaging MTD block and eMMC boot devices in expert mode. The options "-smtd", "-smmcb", "-rmtd", and "-rmmcb" can be used for saving or restoring.
- Added a new program, ocs-live-gen-ubrd, to merge an OCS zip file with a U-Boot enabled bootable raw image, creating a new U-Boot enabled OCS live raw disk.
- The en_US language file was refined.
- The full repack command is now saved (for informational purposes) into ./{live/}Clonezilla-Live-Version.
- Formatted the output of ocs-scan-disk for better readability.
- Added the 'atd' and 'cron' packages to the live system; their services are disabled by default.
- The live-boot package was updated to version 20250815 and patched to include the 'ethdevice-link-timeout' boot parameter, allowing users to set the timeout for the Ethernet device linking status.
- Set 'ethdevice-link-timeout=7' in the live client. This changes the Ethernet device linking status timeout to 7 seconds (down from the default of 15 seconds). Ref
- ocs-blk-dev-info: This is a new program that outputs block device information in JSON format.
- Switched to using fbterm by default for locale and keymap selection.
- Moved the locale and keymap selection to the login shell, allowing fbterm to run in an interactive tty.
- ocs-lang-kbd-conf: Added the "-f" and "-t" options.
- Added a mechanism to automatically set the console font size based on the console's columns and rows, if a size is not already assigned.
- Added a new program, ocs-live-time-sync, which is used by ocs-live-netcfg. Time synchronization will be performed when an internet connection is available.
- Implemented a mechanism to set the timezone by syncing from the BIOS time when no internet connection is available.
- Included the 'upower' package in the live system.
- Added a mechanism to check if LVM thin provisioning exists. If it does, the program will quit. Ref
- ocs-iso-2-onie: Updated to support modern Debian, specifically handling mkinitramfs multiple segments.
- ocs-live-hook.conf: Forced the "loop" module to be added to initramfs.
- Added '-gb3' and '-cb3' options for b3sum in the TUI menu. Renamed '-gb' to '-gb2' and '-cb' to '-cb2'. Ref
- Recovery ISO/zip file names now include the CPU architecture.
- Added 'dhcpcd-base' to the live packages list, as 'dhclient' is deprecated. Ref
- ocs-cvt-dev: Now only accepts disk types.
- ocs-live-swap-kernel: Patched to correctly handle modules.
- The --batch option was not being passed to the 'check_image_if_restorable' function in ocs-functions. Ref
- Added "efitextmode 0" to the grub.cfg of Clonezilla live. Ref
- Image names are now allowed to contain the special characters "(" and ")". Ref
