<h2>Quoi ? </h2>
<p> <strong></strong>Cette conférence sera donnée en <b>anglais</b>
par les auteurs du logiciel Clonezilla, l'<b>entrée </b>est<b>
libre</b> mais une inscription préalable est souhaitée. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most people and companies think they can rebuild system by
backing up critical data. However, when catastrophe failure
occurs, they lose all, including entire operating system, data,
setting and applications. Therefore disaster recovery is always an
issue not only for enterprise but also for a person.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Clonezilla [1], the 2010 January's Project Of The Month on
sourceforge.net [2], is licensed under GPL. It is a partition or
disk cloning tool similar to Symantec Ghost or Acronis True Image.
Based on partclone, DRBL, and udpcast, Clonezilla allows you to do
system deployment and bare metal backup and recovery. The file
systems supported by Clonezilla are (1) ext2, ext3, ext4,
reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT, NTFS of MS
Windows, (3) HFS+ of Mac OS, (4) UFS of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and
OpenBSD, and (5) VMFS of VMWare ESX. Therefore you can clone
GNU/Linux, MS windows, Intel-based Mac OS, and FreeBSD, NetBSD,
and OpenBSD, no matter it's 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) OS.
For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved
and restored. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy
is done by dd in Clonezilla.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and
Clonezilla SE (Server Edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for
single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for
massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers
simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in
the hard disk. This increases the clone efficiency. E.g.
Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously, and
it took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 G Bytes system image
to all 41 computers via multicasting!</p>
<p> So far the download number of Clonezilla is more than 3,000,000
[3], that implies it's a reliable and popular tool.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In this talk, we will cover how to:<br>
1. Use Clonezilla live to do a bare metal recovery and disk clone<br>
2. Create your own recovery CD or USB flash drive<br>
3. Use Clonezilla SE to do massive deployments</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A live demonstration about Clonezilla will be done in the talk,
too.</p>

<p>Biography:<br>
</p>
<p> Steven Shiau is a researcher at the NCHC (National Center for
High-performance Computing), Taiwan. While there he wrote parallel
and distributed program to simulate plasma. This program formed
the basic idea for the future development of the free software
DRBL (Diskless Remote Boot in Linux), a rapid deployment software
for distributed PC cluster and education environment. With
Kuo-Lien Huang, Ceasar Sun, Jazz Wang and Thomas Tsai, he
developed another free software "Clonezilla", an open source clone
system. He has given more than 50 lessons about DRBL and
Clonezilla in Taiwan from 2002, 5 talks in Libre Software Meeting
in France since 2006, and 1 talk in linux.conf.au in 2010. The
project DRBL won first place in 'Public Sector Applications'
category at the Free Software Contest in France in 2007. He is the
division leader of Software Technology Division at NCHC now, and
spends most of his time in the development of DRBL, Clonezilla and
promoting the use of free software and high-performance computing.</p>
