Further, in the case, that the user desires to clone to the computer's system drive, this generally cannot be done while the operating system is running. A common solution to cloning a drive that is in use, which is utilized by software such as CloneZilla, is to boot from a Linux-based operating system so the drive can be copied and/or overwritten.

Clonezilla is used to deploy operating systems to computers by imaging a single computer and then deploying that image to one or more systems. [3] [10] It integrates several other open-source programs to provide cloning and imaging capabilities. Clonezilla works by copying used blocks on the storage device (i.e. SATA SSD, HDD or NVMe SSD).

GHOST could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition or to an image file. GHOST allows for writing a clone or image to a second disk in the same machine, another machine linked by a parallel or network cable, a network drive, or to a tape drive. 3.1 uses 286 with XMS and could still run on OS/2.

[11] [7] Platform-specific specifications define what parts of the library are mandatory, optional, or banned for that platform; and detail other requirements for that platform. [11] Platform-specific specifications include PC Client, [12] mobile, [13] and Automotive-Thin. [14] Algorithms SHA-1 and RSA are required. [15] AES is optional. [15]
A disk image is a snapshot of a storage device's structure and data typically stored in one or more computer files on another storage device. [1] [2]Traditionally, disk images were bit-by-bit copies of every sector on a hard disk often created for digital forensic purposes, but it is now common to only copy allocated data to reduce storage space.
dd is a command-line utility for Unix, Plan 9, Inferno, and Unix-like operating systems and beyond, the primary purpose of which is to convert and copy files. [1] On Unix, device drivers for hardware (such as hard disk drives) and special device files (such as /dev/zero and /dev/random) appear in the file system just like normal files; dd can also read and/or write from/to these files ...
The Q1-SSD and Q30-SSD launch was delayed and finally was shipped in late August 2006. [193] The first flash-memory based PC to become available was the Sony Vaio UX90, announced for pre-order on 27 June 2006 and began to be shipped in Japan on 3 July 2006 with a 16 GB flash memory hard drive. [194]
