Without using any additional software then what’s already on your Mac, you can easily create a USB stick that boots to Clonezilla. Just follow the below instructions and you’ll be well on your way to cloning disks and partitions.
CNET Download provides free downloads for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices across all categories of software and apps, including security, utilities, games, video and browsers. To install Clonezilla live, the basic steps are to download pre-build Clonezilla Live then put it in a boot media (CD, USB flash drive or USB hard drive). Two types of files are available, iso and zip. The former one is for CD, the latter is for USB flash drive. Besides, you can put Clonezilla. To install Clonezilla live, the basic steps are to download pre-build Clonezilla Live then put it in a boot media (CD, USB flash drive or USB hard drive). Two types of files are available, iso and zip. The former one is for CD, the latter is for USB flash drive. Besides, you can put Clonezilla live on hard drive or PXE server, too. There is no good partition table editor for Mac OS on GNU/Linux. Therefore Clonezilla live can not create a proportional partition table for you. No good resize program for HFS+. Maybe you can use Mac OS to create the partition table, i.e. Larger partition, then use Clonezilla live to clone the partition. Download Clonezilla - Create partition and disk images for backup purposes and restore them whenever necessary, all thanks to this powerful open-source application.
First you have to actually download the Clonezilla ISO. If you’ve already done this you can skip this step.
Download Clonezilla
Next we need to convert the ISO image to a DMG
To do this you’ll need to open up Terminal which you can find in either Applications -> Utilities or by pressing Command + Space to launch spotlight and typing Terminal
In the Terminal window you’ll need to type the following: (assuming that the clonezilla image is in your downloads folder)
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o clonezilla clonezilla-live-20190124-eoan-amd64.iso
Next, issue the following command and make a note of the output.
In the output you’ll notice that there are several disks such as /dev/disk0, /dev/disk1, /dev/disk2, etc…
Plug in your USB stick and issue the command again
You should now see a new disk, for me this is /dev/disk5
We will need to unmount this disk so that we can perform the necessary operations on it.
With the disk unmounted, we can now write the contents of the DMG image that we created from the Clonezilla ISO
Once this finishes we’ll need to unmount the USB stick
You should now have a working Clonezilla USB stick, congratulations ?

What is Clonezilla?
You're probably familiar with the popular proprietary commercial package Norton Ghost®. The problem with these kind of software packages is that it takes a lot of time to massively clone systems to many computers. You've probably also heard of Symantec's solution to this problem, Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition® with multicasting. Well, now there is an OpenSource clone system (OCS) solution called Clonezilla with unicasting and multicasting!
Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partclone and udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone efficiency. At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting!
Features:
- Free (GPL) Software.
- Filesystem supported: (1) ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT, NTFS of MS Windows, (3) HFS+ of Mac OS, (4) UFS of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, and (5) VMFS of VMWare ESX. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows, Intel-based Mac OS, and FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, no matter it's 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) OS. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved and restored. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in Clonezilla.
- LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported.
- Grub (version 1 and version 2) is supported.
- Unattended mode is supported. Almost all steps can be done via commands and options. You can also use a lot of boot parameters to customize your own imaging and cloning.
- Multicast is supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for massively clone. You can also remotely use it to save or restore a bunch of computers if PXE and Wake-on-LAN are supported in your clients.
- The image file can be on local disk, ssh server, samba server, or NFS server.
- Based on Partclone (default), Partimage (optional), ntfsclone (optional), or dd to image or clone a partition. However, Clonezilla, containing some other programs, can save and restore not only partitions, but also a whole disk.
- By using another free software drbl-winroll, which is also developed by us, the hostname, group, and SID of cloned MS windows machine can be automatically changed.
Minimum System Requirements for Clonezilla live:
- X86 or x86-64 processor
- 196 MB of system memory (RAM)
- Boot device, e.g. CD/DVD Drive, USB port, PXE, or hard drive
Limitations:
- The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one.
- Differential/incremental backup is not implemented yet.
- Online imaging/cloning is not implemented yet. The partition to be imaged or cloned has to be unmounted.
- Software RAID/fake RAID is not supported by default. It's can be done manually only.
- Due to the image format limitation, the image can not be explored or mounted. You can NOT recovery single file from the image. However, you still have workaround to make it, read this.
- Recovery Clonezilla live with multiple CDs or DVDs is not implemented yet. Now all the files have to be in one CD or DVD if you choose to create the recovery iso file.
License:
Clonezilla itself is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2. However, to run Clonezilla, a lot of free and open source software, e.g. the Linux kernel, a mininal GNU/Linux OS, are required.

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.6.6-15
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.6.6-15
Clonezilla Download Mac Installer
- The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2020/Jun/30).
- Linux kernel was updated to 5.7.6-1.
- ocs-iso, ocs-live-dev: sync syslinux-related files when copying syslinux exec files.
- When creating recovery iso/zip file, if it's in Clonezilla live environment, we have those syslinux files. Use that first so the version mismatch can be avoided. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/127/
- Move grub-header.cfg from bootx64.efi to grub.cfg so that it's more flexible.
- To avoid conflict with the patch of grub in CentOS/Fedora, for GRUB EFI NB MAC/IP config style, the netboot file is now like grub.cfg-drbl-00:50:56:01:01:01 and grub.cfg-drbl-192.168.177.2 not grub.cfg-01-* anymore.
- Add xen-tools
- Partclone was updated to 0.3.14. The codes about xfs was updated to be 4.20.0.
- Package exfat-fuse was removed since the kernel has module for that.
- A better mechanism to deal with linuxefi/initrdefi or linux/initrd in the grub config was added.
