    dd just copies byte by byte without any analysis of the content while clonezilla prevents copying empty areas by checking the content.

    It's free, under Linux, very convenient for most of cloning/imaging disks, easier to understand than Clonezilla. But I'm not sure it handles LVM (which is not the most of needs).
