Is Clonezilla still a solid choice for complete backup and restoration of partition(s) / drive(s) nowadays?

My dear lemmings,

I discovered Clonezilla a while ago and it still is my main tool to backup and restore the partitions I care about on my computers.

I cannot help but wonder if there are now better, more efficient alternatives or is it still a solid choice? There's nothing wrong with it, I'm just curious about others' practices and habits — and if there was newer tools or solutions available.

Thank you for your feedback, and keep your drives safe!

How do you work / mount with files stored on your Synology NAS on Ubuntu linux?

Hi all,

I recently decided to make the switch from Windows to Ubuntu (Pop_OS) and I'm struggling to setup my NAS on my new OS.

I can mount my folders without issues and access them on different file managers (Nemo, Dolphin), but I'm having issues accessing them from my installed applications.

For example if I want to modify tags for my audio files (which takes 80% on my Synology drives) I cannot find them in the application(s).

I can't right click on the files and use 'open with' and I cannot drag n' drop the files to the tag editor, so I try to find the with the applications:

  • Ex Falso:  no network share is available on the sidebar / navigation bar, nothing in 'other locations'
  • Puddletag: same
  • NTag : same

How are we supposed to make this work? I just want to be able to access my files without having to download them on my local disk and send them back to my Synology every time I want to do this.

New phone with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus: should I still buy a screen protector?

Basically the title, I received a new price with a significant price tag (at least for me). My previous ones I didn’t care much so they weren’t protected. Given that I’d like to keep this one in good shape I’d like to know your experiences: does it still make sense to buy screen protectors nowadays? If so, also on newer quality screens like Gorilla Glass Victus? Thank you for your feedback

I'm doing my crash plan backups with Clonezilla since years, are there better cross-platform alternatives nowadays?

Hi all,

Basically the title. I have several computers that get saved every now and then using Clonezilla in case of a critical hard drive crash. Data backups are made in a different way.

While I like Clonezilla, I've been wondering if there was some better cross-platform alternatives? What solution do you use for this scenario?
