I want to second what Bob said.... I've been using clonezilla-live for at least two years. In my shop, we use it in two main ways: We create standard builds of computer models that we frequently buy, and use those images to restore to newly purchased machines.
Secondly, we do periodic backup images for various people in the department. We have an "image server" with 2TB of disk space where we store these images. We create and restore the clonezilla images over the network. Almost all of these are Windows machines, both XP and Win7. My previous experiences cloning computers was with Powerquest Drive Image, which was later bought out by Symantec and pretty much killed in favor of Ghost. I wanted an open source solution, and found clonezilla. I realized early on that it is not for someone who expects a simple point-and-click interface. But I read the docs and didn't have any trouble understanding how to use it. Clonezilla works reliably for us, and continually gets better. I greatly appreciate the work of the development team.
