know2go Registered Member Posts 3 Karma 0 OS	disk cloning for both ext4 and ntfs Sun Sep 11, 2011 3:30 am I'm new to Linux, and maybe its a stupid question, but I can't locate a disk cloning utility in KDE. I need to be able to create a disk image for both Linux/Kubuntu and Windows. If KDE is not supposed to have it, anyone has an idea what can work on both ext4 and ntfs file systems. I found PartImage can do ntfs, but not ext4, and MondoRescue vice versa. Anyone point me to a solution? or is it an entirely stupid question, and it can be resolved somehow else? Thanks...

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. Administrator Kubuntu Forums .
