Disk & Partition Cloning Tools
11 January 2013
As I recently switched
drives over in my laptop here's some links to disk & partition cloning tools I found handy:
- Partclone - Linux command line tool for imaging/cloning a
partition. I used this to backup the Dell recovery partition on my original drive as I went for a fresh
install on the new drive.
- Clonezilla - Co-worker used this to migrate his existing
Dell recovery & Windows partitions over to a new drive as is. Comes as a Live CD ISO image and has
an enterprise offering too. Very similar to Norton Ghost. Uses Partclone under the hood.
- EaseUS Partition Manager - Recommended by a co-worker,
has a free version for home users.
