Ubuntu – Does clonezilla format the destination HDD

clonezillaformat

I want to make an image of my OS partitions. I just have a HDD with important data on it here which i won't format because of it's data.

Now I want to know if clonezilla formats the destination HDD or if it just adds some data in form of compressed .zips or so on?

Clonezilla has many modes of operation. What you probably want to do is to copy a disk or partion to an image. In that case it will not format the destination disk.

It can also copy a disk to another disk. Then it will destroy the content of the destination disk. It will warn you before...
