Would you avoid Clonezilla based on its webpage?

Post Reply New Topic

A webpage on cloning your hard drive mentioned Clonezilla. I looked it up and visited it.

The webpage left me feeling like you do when you visit a site and immediately feel like it was a mistake...that you want to get out of there and immediately run a virus scan.

If you dare, this is the webpage-
http://clonezilla.org/

One thing that got to me is that they used "recovery" as a verb. I suppose it could have been a typo, but...

I downloaded Clonezilla in the past, tried it, can't remember other than it wasn't what I was looking for.

If you want to partition hard drives, the Linux program gparted rocks.

If you want to clone hard drives, I have used "Partimage" on SystemRescueCD, a Linux distro, that has some disk copying program, but last time I used it, it was quite a challenge, especially if you are not familiar with Linux and command line. I just looked on the SystemRescueCD webpage, there is another called FSArchiver, that says can be used to clone partitions including ntfs.

I bought Macrium, but I believe both Macrium and Easus have a free version that can clone HDs. I believe Intel has something too, and there is yet a third or fourth program out there. The paid version of Macrium allows you to back up and/or restore folders or individual files; with the paid version, you would have to find another HD, put the image on the HD, and then go find the file you wanted to get. That doesn't happen that often. The paid version has some sort of scripting language thing going on too.

I have found that Windows 7 can hide (obfuscate ??? not sure what the right word is) extended partitions, and, that computers with UEFI BIOS do away with the whole 4 primary partitions. I have had problems with partitions created with gparted and Windows 7 that would not have been a problem with Windows XP.

Something else. Back in the days of Norton Ghost, when I asked it to image a disk, it imaged the WHOLE disk, including MBR. When I ask Macrium to do a whole disk, it does each and every partition, but not MBR. Norton Ghost can mess up things in NTFS but I can't remember what it was. Maybe permissions, or the permissions of the image.

If you are copying Windows partitions using Linux (so not macrium), you may have to learn to use the linux program
ntfs-3g

SystemRescueCD has some other goodies on it, including the program MHDD that can scan a HD for slow sectors, but I have been having problems getting the GRUB menu to come up instead of the normal SystemRescueCD boot menu to come up on UEFI machines.

It just seems like a page created by a technical person who is not a native English speaker and doesn't care about web design or have a strong sense of visual aesthetics.

None of that necessarily means hacker deploying malware. Clonezilla seems to get a lot of positive mention.

This reminds me a little of the Calibre ePub reader. The stuff looks terrible, but it works really well--if you can stand the bad interface design of the reader.
