Linux – Clonezilla from Command Line

backupclonezilladisk-imagelinux

I wan to use Clonezilla to Copy an Entire Disk to another Server. As the Source Disk resides on a Server, I do not have Access to the server to use a Live-CD. I will therefore have to use the command line from a "rescue System" that lets me mount the Disk I want to clone.

But I have not found any information how to use clonezilla from the Command line. I would be very thankfull for advice how to

  1. Install Clonezialla not(!) to a live CD but rather as a linux system
    => On Debian 6.0 I do not find anything using: aptitude search clonezilla

  2. What parameters to use to clone for example /dev/sda

Install clonezilla, then run /opt/drbl/sbin/clonezilla (Debian might put this somewhere different, if it's not there, look around a bit for it) . There's a curses-based GUI that will take you through the process. You don't have to screw around with command line arguments at all.

As far as installing it, it should come with DRBL, which you can find at http://drbl.sourceforge.net/
