14 DAY TRIAL // Clonezilla Live 2.2.2-35, a Linux distribution based on DRBL, Partclone, and udpcast that allows users to do bare metal backup and recovery, is now available for download and testing.
The Clonezilla developers have just released a new development version for their Linux distro, the first one after the major stable update.
"The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository, as of April 7, 2014," reads the official changelog.
The Linux kernel has remained the same, 3.13.6, and this is one of the most recent ones available. It's very likely that the next development version will feature Linux kernel 3.14.
Also, a couple of minor bugs have been fixed. For example, the boot parameter "utc=no" has been fixed and the created recovery ISO for the AMD64 Arch no longer fails to boot.
Clonezilla Live is a Linux distribution that does only one thing: bare metal backup and recovery. It's very similar to other older cloning software, such as True Image or Norton Ghost.
A complete list of changes, improvements, and fixes can be found in the official announcement. You can download Clonezilla Live 2.2.2-35 right now from Softpedia.
Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
