Mounting a disk image is the process of making the disk image content available to the user as if he or she is accessing a physical read-only disk. ^ Extracting is the process of browsing a disk image and retrieving some of the files that it contains, at the user's discretion.Implies use of shadow copy or a similar technique. ^ Hot transfer refers to copying the contents of a volume on which there are open files in use.The target disk's layout may not resemble that of the source disk. It requires the cloning utility to have a knowledge of the file systems on the source disk. ^ File-based transfer (as opposed to sector-by-sector transfer), involves opening all files and copying their contents, one by one.^ Sector-by-sector transfer involves accessing the disk directly and copying the contents of each sector, thus accurately reproducing the layout of the source disk.SystemRescueCD - includes PartImage, Partclone, ntfsclone and FSArchiver.It is from the same creators and the base of Clonezilla. Partclone is a GPL partition clone and restore tool that works with almost any filesystem.UFS (beta), HFS (beta), NTFS (experimental) FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, btrfs, f2fs, NILFS2, HFS+, UFS, minix, VMFS3įAT32, btrfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, ReiserFS-4, HPFS, JFS, XFSįAT12, FAT16, FAT32, ExFAT, NTFS, ext2, ext3, ext4, MFS, HFS, HFS+, UDF, XFS, ReFS įAT32, ext2, ext3, ReiserFS-3, HPFS, JFS, XFS
