What? Oh, right, I'm supposed to be describing this video.

It's about Clonezilla! I love using Clonezilla for backing up my disk drives to images. It's also helped me out to be able to convert a physical machine to a VM easily. It's such a simple tool and I'm really thankful to the folks who made it.

You can check out the tool at https://clonezilla.org/.

Also, I wrote a companion blog post for this video: https://vkc.sh/clonezilla-101

And if you like the shirt I'm wearing, I sell it over on my merch store: https://vkc.sh/product-tag/test-your-backups/

Lastly, I couldn't do this without the supporters I have on Patreon and Ko-Fi, who foot the bill for all of this nonsense. If you want to join our Discord-slash-Matrix, tiers start at $2/mo USD. Thank you!
