My dear lemmings,

I discovered Clonezilla a while ago and it still is my main tool to backup and restore the partitions I care about on my computers.

I cannot help but wonder if there are now better, more efficient alternatives or is it still a solid choice? There’s nothing wrong with it, I’m just curious about others’ practices and habits — and if there was newer tools or solutions available.

Thank you for your feedback, and keep your drives safe!

    I have never gotten Clonezilla to work. I don’t want to call it obsolete, but… it certainly isn’t intuitive, and in 2024 I expect even open source software as widely known as Clonezilla to have a straightforward interface.

    For simple data backups, I use Kopia.

    EDIT: Apparently there’s a GUI for Clonezilla called Rescuezilla. I’ll have to give it a try sometime.
