Somewhat OT: cloning hard disks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
Was just given the task of cloning several machines from a master that I 
installed.  THe master has both Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.04 installed.  
What's the best way to make an image of this drive so it can be copied 
to several other drives? I was thinking of just using DD, but is there 
any faster way? partimage looked interesting, but it looked like a pain 
to clone an entire disk (doing it one partition at a time, then losing 
the MBR from the original drive).
Also looked at clonezilla which looked somewhat promising (it uses a 
console interface so could have speakup integrated into it), but I was 
unable to find any source (or even a copy of the kernel config so I 
could recompile)
Any advice would be greatly apreciated.
