In this tutorial I will show you how to image any computer with Clonezilla. Clonezilla is a powerful, free and open-source disk cloning and imaging software tool designed for efficiently replicating, backing up, and restoring entire computer systems. Clonezilla can image a variety of operating and file systems, meaning you can clone both Windows and Linux installs.

I'm using your video to help a good friend to make a disk image of his system disk. I do appreciate you adding instructions for the various partition methods. Thanks for providing these instructions. They help tremendously.

Excellent tutorial. Much better than most other tutorials that require an external USB M2 adapter to clone an SSD to s higher a capacity one. Thanks!

Hi! I have been struggling with disk cloning for more than a week. I have tried my luck with Macrium Reflect but always ended up with errors. Thank you for sharing this AMAZING tutorial. Thanks to you, finally, I was able to clone my disk successfully! This is the best tutorial video on this subject. Every section is explained in detail and supported with valid information. Thank you a million times! -- By the way, for anyone experiencing Windows boot errors, I suggest removing the source disk after the cloning process. Trying to boot with both disks caused conflicts for me. Do the cloning, shutdown your computer, remove the original source disk, boot with the clone.

What's your screen resoluation

@jeffbrown66 2 ай бұрын

When creating a folder to save the images in the destination drive, Clonezilla will not recognize the folder if it has a space in the folder name. For example, I created a folder named "clonezilla images" that Clonezilla did not recognize. Only later did I realize that the folder name either should have no spaces or use an underscore to represent a space in the folder name.

@cybernit3 6 ай бұрын

I used clonezilla once to migrate win11 os boot ssd from 512 GB to 2TB. OK, I was able to copy win11 over and it worked; but I could not do WINDOWS UPDATE. I assume Microsoft win11 can detect if it was cloned and will block windows 11 updates. I wonder if anyone got it to work or some trick. So for now I think it is better to do a fresh win11 install on a new ssd.

@mathiasdeweerdt1400 2 ай бұрын

This has nothing to do with the cloning process. But with the HWID I would assume. Your windows was most likely also unactivated after the cloning process, simply reactivating should be sufficient. Or the update process was already broken in the first place.

Are you using .iso file ? Try ventoy into usb. Can search tutorial of it.

Rufus does not work with external USB drives. Ventoy does.

Got to 9:22 to start imaging and it failed. Something about not enough space. I'm using a 64 GB USB. I don't understand.

@TheHowToGuy123 4 ай бұрын

If you are imaging a SSD with Windows and a lot of data and programs, there is a good chance that your image will be over 64GB and you'll need to save it to a bigger drive.

Be careful, you can lost some Windows services. I lost Device Association Service and now my bluetooth doesn`t work. Still looking for the solve without reinstalling whole system, sfc and dism didn't help. If someone know a solution, pls help

@@marcc5768 I'm using an ssd and tried to clone my local disk C which has the os to another partition named local disk D. But clonezilla won't let me. It does the cloning process to 100% then gives me this error message "clonezilla failed to save partition dev sda2"

@@acid1787 I'm exactly with the same task and problem. Clonezilla saves to the resulting folder the smaller partitions which amount to about 900 MB of data, but when it comes to saving the large one with all the data it gives me the same error. I did it several times, I even made sure that there's enough space on the destination partition to write the system partition whole (data and free space). Still I get the same error. There are so many variables thou. My disk is nvme NTFS split to 2 partitions. I use clonezilla from Ventoy, not from standalone USB, I use it for asus notebook with their RAID storage thingy, that some imaging solutions require drivers to detect, clonezilla detected it fine. I tried to boot with secure boot and without it. I tried using clonezilla in "normal mode" and in "Grub2 mode" (this option didn't appear in this video). The same outcome.
