Download Clonezilla 2.4.5-20

Clonezilla is an open source program for creating disk images. Among other things, it is possible to make backups of partitions or of the entire hard disk, or a copy of a hard disk: a so-called clone. Clonezilla is an open source variant of Symantec Ghost and Acronis True Image. The whole thing is based on a Debian distribution and it uses DRBL, Partclone and udpcast. Clonezilla live is intended for standalone computers, while Clonezilla SE up to 40 computers can be imaged simultaneously. With version number 2.4.5-20 a new stable release of Clonezilla has been released and its changelog looks like this:

Enhancements and changes

• The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Feb/03).
• Linux kernel was updated to 4.3.3-7. From Linux kernel v4, the default union file system has been changed to overlay, therefore if you edit boot parameter manually, you have to use “union=overlay”. No more using “union=aufs”. Due to the linux kernel change in Debian repository, no more i586 linux kernel, so now Debian-based Clonezilla live is only released with 3 architectures: i686, i686-pae and amd64.
• Partclone was updated to 0.2.87-drbl2. A fat16 issue was fixed.( clonezilla/bugs/237/)
• New file system nilfs2 is supported in this release.
• Now ocs-onthefly supports nvme device cloning, and can work for different types of disk cloning, eg nvme0n1 -> sda or vice versa.
• Make ocs-install-grub run when it’s a GPT disk with a special “bios_boot” partition exists in the machine using legacy BIOS.
• By default the image integrity will be checked before restoring. The option “-scr” can be used to skip this checking.
• The option “-sc” was replaced by “-scs” in drbl-ocs and ocs-sr. This will be easier to tell the differences between saving and restoring image. Option “-sc” is still working in the same way with “-scs”, but might be dropped in the future.
• Packages fatresize, nilfs-tools and fancontrol were added.
• Add removing swapfile.sys in ocs-rm-win-swap-hib.

Bug fixes

• The size with more than one partition not expanding should be added to the later partition in ocs-expand-gpt-pt.
• “Shoutdown” should be “Desligar” in luanguage file pt_BR.
• Use parted to fill the last partition to the end of disk because there might be some resudial in the calculation of ocs-expand-gpt-pt.Ref: discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/c5e92d87/?limit=25#080c
• Avoiding TUI messages overriding the error messages in ocs-live-restore. Thanks to Stew Fisher fisher at oncology ox ac uk> for reporting this issue.
• Avoid using the preserved word of grub2 “prefix” in the grub.cfg. (
• Failed to deal with partition name with extra “p”, like: cciss, mmcblk, md, rd, ida, nvme (
• Use fatresize to resize FAT file system instead of parted since resize function is no more in parted >= 3. (
