Notes from experience
- Do a couple of test restores.
- On Windows boxes you may need to do a boot repair on after a clonezilla restore. Not a big deal, but scary at first when the box doesn't boot after a restore.
- When some RHEL/CentOS boxes restore to a different hard drive, it may end up horribly broken because the GUID/UUID of the HDD device changed, which required a rebuild instead of a restore.
- YMMV, and test, test, test.
