Clonezilla is a free and open-source software used for disk imaging and cloning. It can be used to backup and restore entire hard drives or individual partitions. In this tutorial, we will be downloading and installing Clonezilla on Kali Linux.
Before we begin, you need to have the following:
Before we install Clonezilla, it is best to ensure that Kali Linux is up-to-date. To do this, open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
This will update the package list and upgrade all the packages installed on your Kali Linux system.
Clonezilla requires a few dependencies to be installed before it can be installed. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt install cdrkit curl isolinux p7zip-full wget
Next, we need to download the Clonezilla disk image file (.zip) from the official website. To do this, execute the following command:
sudo wget -O clonezilla.zip http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/clonezilla/clonezilla_live_stable/2.7.2-39/clonezilla-live-2.7.2-39-amd64.zip
This will download the Clonezilla disk image file to your system.
After the download completes, move the downloaded file to the /opt directory by running the following command:
sudo mv clonezilla.zip /opt
Change the directory to /opt by running the following command:
cd /opt
Extract the Clonezilla disk image file by running the following command:
sudo 7z x clonezilla.zip
Now, we can install Clonezilla by running the following command:
sudo bash /opt/clonezilla/live_install.sh
This will start the Clonezilla installation process.
After the installation is complete, we can launch Clonezilla by executing the following command:
sudo clonezilla
This will start Clonezilla, and you can start cloning or backing up your system.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to download and install Clonezilla on Kali Linux. With Clonezilla installed, you can now backup and restore your system with ease.
