14 DAY TRIAL // Clonezilla Live 2.2.3-23, a Linux distribution based on DRBL, Partclone, and udpcast that allows users to do bare metal backup and recovery, is now ready for testing.
The Clonezilla team has just a released a new development version for this Linux distribution, but unlike the latest versions, the current build integrates a larger number of improvements, besides the regular Debian updates.
“The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository, as of June 24, 2014,” reads the official announcement.
According to the changelog, the config file drbl-ocs.conf has been updated in order to add more comments about the udpcast sender options and LC_ALL=C is now forcefully used in order to run printf in ocs-expand-mbr-pt.
Also, Syslinux has been updated to version 6.03-pre17, and the program makeboot.sh has been patched and it now supports xfs, ufs, and ff.
Clonezilla Live is a Linux distribution that does only one thing: bare metal backup and recovery. It's very similar to other, older pieces of 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 2.2.3-23 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.
