the question nobody has an answer for is! -HOW DO I CLONE TO A SMALLER DRIVE!- this sounds irrational most think its impossible but i have done it with windows and a cd made by the company that produced -maxtor- hard drive that not only did it but would restore a dead disk! and was free when you bought a drive from them supposedly it only worked with maxtor drive but in fact it worked with any provided one was a maxtor. but this was in the days of windows 2000 and im using linux! but i was told that by using clonezilla/Gparted it was possible. whats important to understand is that we are not talking about cloning a 100 to a 50 completly! we are talking about a 100 thats using 10% and then moving it to a 50 so really its a 10 to a 50 which requires partitioning. you turn your 100 into a 50 and then clone it! i think you repartition it with Gparted and clone with clonezilla.

This is the best software for data backup and clone also it supports multicasting and unicasting (over network but required to setup Clonezilla Server SE and PXE boot from clients PC ). APFS not supported but Sector to sector backup will do the trick for newer Macs running macOS High Sierra (on SSD) or Later. Note: macOS High Sierra on mechanical hard drive uses HFS+ and sector to sector backup means clonezilla uses dd command in background regardless what the file system is. Just one more thing BootCamp will be backed up on all intel based mac and finally macrium reflect will do the same but it's not completely free and only available for windows so you need to use the the free edition of rescue image and boot from the mac then clone or backup the entire drive. Thank you for this video

excellent walk through thank you for creating, a few questions . . . -
q1. any issues you foresee using this to move a vmware player [ or hyper-v ] windows 11/10 install to a physical machine install where the latter boots into clonezilla iso using usb boot stick?
q2. does clonezilla iso support detection and enabling of intel SoC wifi adapters and/or realtek usb nano dongle adapters so that you can boot physical machine and receive clone over a wifi network vs using the to/from image approach?
q3. any issues you foresee with the cloning of windows 11/10 from vmware player [ or hyper-v ] or different intel x86 isa 64-bit system, e.g. 8th gen i5 to 11th gen i7, setup to a new more current hardware setup?

Hello, please a tip. I have a source HDD that is larger than the target SSD. But I have a large unallocated partition with 3 other small partitions on the source drive. Is it possible to choose and clone a partition and repeat the operation with 2 other partitions so that the target SSD drive is operational and full with 3 small partitions? By choosing the partition-partition cloning menu in beginner mode, this 3 times in a row .... simpler I think disk to disk expert mode. No ? thank you for your opinion

Hello there,
would clonezilla allow me to install an exact copy of my system on another brand new computer that does not contain anything?
I don't know if my question makes sense, but let's say I have google chrome installed on my linux, could clonezilla allow me to create an iso file which I could burn to a usb stick to install it on another computer that doesn't even have an os yet and then immediately use google chrome on that new computer? or am I saying silly things?
thanks in advance :)

How do I shrink the source drive before starting? I want to transfer everything from my 1TB HDD to my 960GB SSD. But when I run Clonezilla it doesn't allow me to do disk to disk transfer because the source (1TB HDD) is bigger than the destination (960GB SSD) even though the real space that is used is about 500GB on the source disk, so I have plenty of space on my SSD. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the video Chris, but I am surprised that there isn't a -Noob Mode- that I would probably use 99% of the time, just to backup and restore image files...
The whole process could have been made much simpler IMHO... I know I'll have to do it a dozen times (backup and restore) to be sure I understand before I touch real data...

QUESTION: If my laptop is dual boot, will Clonzilla clone everything (efi partition-fat32, recovery partition, basi data partition - nfts (windows), linux ext4 partition and the last ntfs recovery partition)? Meaning if colne back in the machine I could boot in Windows or linux?

Given this is just one open for cloning, can you do a video that takes a deeper dive into cloning that covers most of the options and suggests the best tools? I just spent a ton of time down that rabbit hole, so I can appreciate a better look at the subject. Thx
