Today, October 9, 2016, 4MLinux developer Zbigniew Konojacki informed Softpedia about the official release and immediate availability for download of the BakAndImgCD 20.0 data backup and disk imaging Live CD.

Based on 4MLinux Backup Scripts 20.0, and built on top of the 4MLinux 20.0 operating system, the BakAndImgCD 20.0 data backup and disk imaging Live CD is here with up-to-date GNU/Linux technologies and open source software projects to help you back up your data or clone partitions and entire disk drivers from a supported file system.

BakAndImgCD 20.0 is a pretty versatile data backup and disk cloning Live CD that supports a large number of filesystems from GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X operating systems, including but not limited to Btrfs, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, HFS, HFS+, F2FS, NILFS2, Reiser4, ReiserFS, and XFS. Additionally, the Live CD includes the popular Partclone, Partimage, and GNU ddrescue utilities.

"BakAndImgCD is an official 4MLinux fork, which has been designed to perform the following two tasks: data backup (the supported filesystems are: Btrfs, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, F2FS, FAT16, FAT32, HFS, HFS+, JFS, NILFS2, NTFS, Reiser4, ReiserFS, and XFS) and disk imaging (using Partimage, Partclone, and GNU ddrescue)," says Zbigniew Konojacki in today's release announcement.

Best of all, BakAndImgCD 20.0 Live CD works independently of a computer operating system, which means that you'll have to download the ISO image, create a bootable USB flash drive or Live CD with it, and boot it on the PC you want to clone the disk drivers (HDD or SSD) on, or make a backup of all the files. BakAndImgCD 20.0 is now available for download via our website.
