Clonezilla

Clonezilla is a set of utilities that we can use to create, restore, and deploy images.

We can use Clonezilla in two ways: the Live Clonezilla distribution and the command-line tool. The process of creating and restoring the image is the same for both approaches. Therefore, we’ll go with the former.

Our Linux system is installed on the /dev/sda disk — specifically, on the /dev/sda1 partition. Our data partition is /dev/sda2, and that’s where we’ll write the image of /dev/sda1.
