Clonezilla configuration

[MkII]

Just trialling clonezilla - loving the speed!

 

Documentation seems very limited on configuration options. I want to bypass all the obvious options and leave image source and destination, and actual image choices intact.

 

Any ideas, pointers?

 

thanks

Are you using clonezilla live or server edition?

[MkII]

Live version

 

I know you can pass all the variables to have completely unattended given your drives being identified the same every time - I'd just like to be able to narrow down the choices to selecting the source and destination drives.

 

Thanks

This should be what you need Clonezilla Live Doc

 

There's a slight walk through here too How to customize Clonezilla-Live (USB) .

 

And the full set of boot parameters are explained here: Clonezilla Live Doc

 

Anything you want to set manually during the running of Clonezilla Live should be set to 'ask_user', hope this helps.

Can you use clonezilla live to take an image of an imac with a bootcamp partition( for windows) save the image of the whole hd to your server and then clone this to other identical imacs?

 

I have only ever done it on Windows systems. Just wondering?

[tommej]

I'm not sure if clonezilla can do explicitly what you ask, you may have to deploy your OSX image, set up the BC partition and then deploy the BC image.

 

e: Actually after thinking about it you should just be able to clone the entire drive with clonezilla, so it will do what you ask.
