Number 6: Clonezilla
Clonezilla is a free disk imaging and cloning program. It helps you backup and restore a single machine, or do system deployment. Minimum System Requirements for Clonezilla live is an X86 or x86-64 processor, 196 MB of system memory (RAM), and either a usb, cd-rom or hard drive to use as a Boot device. Clonezilla is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2.
I only use Clonezilla at my job at the Westhampton Free Library where I’m the Head of Computers & Digital Services. I use Clonezilla to make images of computer hard drives for our library’s online catalogs, self checkouts stations, and public computers. Whenever I have to re-install a hard drive all I have to do is clone one of the images I have already made. Although I don’t use the program often, there are not many others that perform better or can compare to the price. Plus it’s open source!
