Clonezilla is a free and open source disk cloning and backup tool that is used to backup and restore entire systems or individual files. It can be used to clone or image operating systems, applications, and user data onto another hard disk, SSD or onto an external USB drive. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to install Clonezilla on MXLinux Latest.
Before you can install Clonezilla, you need to have the following:
As a best practice, it is recommended that you update the system before installing any new packages. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
This will update the package list and upgrade any outdated packages on your system.
Clonezilla is not available in MXLinux's default repository. Therefore, we need to add the Clonezilla repository to our system before installing it. Here are the steps to add the Clonezilla repository:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free"
Press Enter when prompted to continue.
Next, update the package list to include the Clonezilla repository by running:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install clonezilla -y
This will install Clonezilla on your system.
You can now launch Clonezilla by going to the Applications menu and typing "clonezilla" in the search bar. You will see the Clonezilla icon displayed. Click on it to launch the application.
That's it! You have successfully installed Clonezilla on MXLinux Latest. You can now use Clonezilla to backup and restore entire systems or individual files. Happy cloning!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
