Techshare: Clonezilla
Once upon a time, when Windows 95 was new, I owned a piece of software called Norton PartitionMagic.
This baby was an excellent, efficient piece of partitioning software that did its job excellently- when all you've got to format is 10 GB, it works snappily and had a high-resolution 640x480 application, too.
These days, I use a desktop with a resolution of 1600x1200 (and a few others), and have disks that are anywhere between 150 GB and 2TB. In keeping up with the times, I discovered CloneZilla, an open-source piece of software that supports partitioning, disk cloning, and more.
Check it out at [ http://clonezilla.org/ ].

ReplyDeleteand great tip but os x has all this functions built in the operating system
I hate partition backup :X well thanks for recommendation
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty good benchmark to go by: if the name ends in 'Zilla', it's probably pretty good. Love Filezilla as well for my FTP needs.
ReplyDeleteI remember Norton's tool. It was pretty handy. Now a lot of it has been picked up by the operating system itself. Clonezilla looks pretty useful though I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI remember having difficulties finding something similar. Thanks for posting this.
