Clonezilla
Free and open source partition and disk imaging/cloning program
Clonezilla is an open-source disk imaging and cloning tool similar to Norton Ghost or True Image. It supports single-machine backups via a bootable live environment, as well as mass deployment across 40+ computers simultaneously using server editions. It supports a wide range of file systems, encryption, multicast, and various storage backends.
Clonezilla boots from a CD/DVD or USB drive and uses tools like Partclone and dd to image or clone partitions, saving only used blocks for efficiency, with optional multicast or BitTorrent for mass deployment.
