    Clonezilla is more akin to Norton Ghost or other partition restoration software. Win32 is more useful for writing images to USB keys, etc.

    Creates backup images from usb, and restores images to create backup copy. Simple UI, works exactly as required. Seems to use unix dd command to make disk duplicate.
