souhaitée.
Most people and companies think they can rebuild system by backing up
critical data. However, when catastrophe failure occurs, they lose all,
including entire operating system, data, setting and applications.
Therefore disaster recovery is always an issue not only for enterprise
but also for a person.
Clonezilla [1], the 2010 January's Project Of The Month on
sourceforge.net [2], is licensed under GPL. It is a partition or disk
cloning tool similar to Symantec Ghost or Acronis True Image. Based on
partclone, DRBL, and udpcast, Clonezilla allows you to do system
deployment and bare metal backup and recovery. The file systems
supported by Clonezilla are (1) ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4,
xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT, NTFS of MS Windows, (3) HFS+ of Mac OS,
(4) UFS of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, and (5) VMFS of VMWare ESX.
Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows, Intel-based Mac OS, and
FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, no matter it's 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit
(x86-64) OS. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are
saved and restored. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy
is done by dd in Clonezilla.
Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE
(Server Edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup
and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone
many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores
only used blocks in the hard disk. This increases the clone efficiency.
E.g. Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously, and it
took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 G Bytes system image to all 41
computers via multicasting!
So far the download number of Clonezilla is more than 3,000,000 [3],
that implies it's a reliable and popular tool.
In this talk, we will cover how to:
1. Use Clonezilla live to do a bare metal recovery and disk clone
2. Create your own recovery CD or USB flash drive
3. Use Clonezilla SE to do massive deployments
A live demonstration about Clonezilla will be done in the talk, too.

Biography:
Steven Shiau is a researcher at the NCHC (National Center for
High-performance Computing), Taiwan. While there he wrote parallel and
distributed program to simulate plasma. This program formed the basic
idea for the future development of the free software DRBL (Diskless
Remote Boot in Linux), a rapid deployment software for distributed PC
cluster and education environment. With Kuo-Lien Huang, Ceasar Sun, Jazz
Wang and Thomas Tsai, he developed another free software "Clonezilla",
an open source clone system. He has given more than 50 lessons about
DRBL and Clonezilla in Taiwan from 2002, 5 talks in Libre Software
Meeting in France since 2006, and 1 talk in linux.conf.au in 2010. The
project DRBL won first place in 'Public Sector Applications' category at
the Free Software Contest in France in 2007. He is the division leader
of Software Technology Division at NCHC now, and spends most of his time
in the development of DRBL, Clonezilla and promoting the use of free
software and high-performance computing.
