Good free way to clone a hard drive or a partition and send the image over the network (through FTP, Windows file sharing, "anything")?
- by Deleted
What I ideally would like is a free software solution which can:
Boot from a CD/DVD/USB-stick and
Clone a complete hard drive or a partition and
Send the resulting image file over the network through
Windows file sharing (SMB, I could use SAMBA on my server to receive the image) or through
FTP or through
SFTP or through
SCP
It should work with Linux and Windows file-systems (where specific file system support is necessary)
Is there anything good out there like this? I know Wikipedia lists a lot of cloning software. But I'm looking for a personal recommendation which you have used yourself, as I find it more credible (I'll see from the upvotes if the answer is liked by a lot of visitors).
