However, some of them are pretty obscure, and if you’re using any mainstream file system or operating system, either service will have you covered. First of all, I did notice that Clonezilla supports the editing of more file systems than Acronis. They essentially have the same core features, though Clonezilla does seem to have a few extra features and a slight edge over Acronis. The only caveat is that since Acronis must be installed on Windows, the Linux or Mac system/partition that needs to be edited must either be accessed over the network or directly plugged into the desktop system hosting Acronis, such as with an external hard drive.Īll in all, I was surprised to see how competitive the features of each service are. However, do be aware that both services have the ability to edit, clone, and otherwise manipulate Mac OSX and Linux systems. Not only can Clonezilla be run on Linux and Mac systems, but it can also even be installed to a thumb drive, making it a convenient mobile utility that isn’t anchored to a desktop. It does have support for file systems from Mac and Linux systems, but the actual applications itself only runs on Windows. Acronis, on the other hand, like most other third-party drive management applications, was written for Windows. Clonezilla can be installed and run on Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux. The first major difference between these programs is that they run on different platforms.
