In this tutorial /dev/sdX will be used as the name of the block device that represents the USB MSD. Be careful that you reference the correct block device. Note that all data on the USB mass storage device (MSD) will be destroyed. Any other available space will be usable for images made with Clonezilla Live. It needs at least 512 MB of storage space for Clonezilla Live. Prepare USB mediumĪ USB mass storage device (hard drive, solid state drive or flash drive) is necessary. Note that the prepared USB medium can also be read from and written to in Windows, and Clonezilla Live upgrades can also be done in Windows. It assumes that an Arch Linux system is used, but should be usable with any modern Linux distribution. This post outlines the steps needed to prepare a USB medium. With a bit of effort it is possible to create a USB medium that can boot both systems, and of which its excess storage can be used for storing Clonezilla images. It can do this for systems that boot using a legacy BIOS and for systems that boot using UEFI.Ī limitation of Clonezilla Live’s installation instructions for USB is that it instructs on creating a bootable USB medium that only boots on either legacy BIOS or UEFI systems. All kinds of operating systems can be easily backed up (‘imaged’) and restored. For the old-timers, think of a open source version of Norton/Symantec Ghost. Clonezilla Live is a wonderful GNU/Linux distribution which allows you to easily backup and restore images of disks.
