How to make a backup of your entire computer for Windows 10/11?
Clonezilla is a free and open-source software that allows you to create complete backups (clones) of your entire computer or specific disks and partitions. It's widely used for system backups, recovery, and disk imaging. Here's how you can use Clonezilla to make a backup of your entire computer:
1. Download Clonezilla: Visit clonezilla and download the ISO file for creating a bootable USB or CD/DVD.
2. Create Bootable Media: Use tools or burn the ISO to a CD/DVD to create bootable media.
3. Boot from Clonezilla Media: Restart your computer and boot from the Clonezilla USB or CD/DVD. You might need to change the boot order in BIOS/UEFI.
4. Follow the On-Screen Instructions:
Choose device-to-image mode to save the entire disk or partition as an image.
Select the source disk (your current drive).
Choose a destination (external drive, network location, etc.) to store the backup.
Making a backup of your entire computer: Clonezilla will create an exact image of your disk, which you can restore later if needed.
