Clonezilla: http://clonezilla.org/
It's gui based, not "expert" technical knowledge required to use.
I've been looking at clonezilla, but it seems surprisingly difficult
to get it on a USB stick in Fedora-20.
The usual advice seems to be to run tuxboot -
I gather that there was a Fedora tuxboot package,
but apparently it is no longer supported.
There were versions of tuxboot for ubuntu,
but none that I could find intended for fedora.
I tried unetbootin, which is mentioned as an unrecommended alternative.
It created a bootable version of clonezilla-live-2.2.1-25-i686-pae.iso
but when this was run it threw up hundreds of errors, including
EXT3-fs: sda1: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features
with the same many times for each partition.
If someone has actually run clonezilla under Fedora-20
I imagine a short account of how this is done would be welcome.
I have been running Clonezilla for years from an USB stick which I set
up using "Method B: manual", which basically consist of two steps:
- unzipping the zip-version to a stick with an empty fat32 filesystem
- running the "makeboot" script from inside the stick.
Clonezilla is really easy to use and very reliable (as a test, I
restored a complete Win 7 installation), but for me there are two glitches:
1. It seems impossible or at least difficult to restore singles files
from an image.
2. It is rather clumpsy to restore a backup to a drive which is not the
original one.
