Clonezilla - open source software for disk cloning and imaging

This is an interesting video to watch how you can use Clonezilla to boot up your computer and make a full image copy of any hard drive. That image can be used to fully restore the bootable drive. It will not only backup the drive to another local drive (as an image file inside a directory), but even via SSH or a Windows share on the network.

A feature I was quite intrigued by, was the ability to create a self booting backup image, where it includes the Clonezilla boot files into the destination image. In other words, you could flash that backed up image to another external drive, and actually boot it and start a restore. I however did not see that option when I created my backup so maybe the options have changed. My 128 GB SSD though only took a few minutes to backup, which was quite impressive.
