Clonezilla is an operating system and can thus be used via a bootable USB-stick. In the CPM Lab you will find a black one which contains this already. (PICTURE)

Identify names of memory disks

In this explanation, one SD-card will be cloned to another one directly. Consequently, both SD-cards have to be plugged in at the same time. Because you will need to specify which of them is the source and which the target, you need to identify them clearly. For that purpose, plug them into the computer and open Disks (Ubuntu). Their names will be the same in Linux and Clonezilla.

Warning

Note: Something like sdc is NOT the name of the device. This one changes dependent on the order in which the devices are plugged in.

Start Clonezilla at the OptiPlex 3070

...

  1. Move to Secure Boot > Secure Boot Enable and deselect Secure Boot Enable.
  2. Move to General > Boot Sequence and click on Add Boot Option. Choose a name, select the file /EFI/boot/grubx64.efi and confirm it. (Depending on the used Clonezilla version and the underlying BIOS the needed file and its path differ. For more information see here.) Move Clonezilla to the highest priority, apply the changes and exit. After rebooting, Clonezille should start.

Navigate through Clonezilla

Tip

If you want to exit Clonezilla in the start menu, switch to console by entering "c" and then enter "exit". (The next OS specified in the Boot Sequence of the BIOS will start.)

After Clonezilla has been started successfully, you have to navigate through the "submenus" it consists of. Choose

  • the first option Clonezilla live (Default settings, VGA 800x600). If you don't do anything this will be chosen automatically after plenty of seconds.
  • the language and the keyboard layout as you want (default recommended).
  • start Clonezilla
  • device-device
  • expert
  • disk to local disk
  • the source as identified in the beginning
  • the target as identified in the beginning
  • toggle the options as follows by using Space. Deactivate everything except the next two options which should be set:
    • sector-by-sector copy (-q1)
    • inspect checksums (-cmf)
  • keep default (skip checking/repairing source file system)
  • keep default (use the partition table from the source disk)
  • poweroff

Warning

All data, which was saved at the target device, will be lost afterwards!

Finally, confirm everything (warnings, and clone of boot loader) with y.
