Hi everyone,

I’m really happy to be successfully using Clonezilla which is a great tool (but not easy without a tutorial) to create backups of my Fedora and Lubuntu installations on my 3 computers.

However I have a problem while cloning my 2012 MacBook Pro.

Clonezilla create individual files which are bigger than the 50 gb limit my kDrive (swiss equivalent to Google drive) allows me to have.

With my Surface Go 1 the individual files are way smaller although the overall size of the backup is approximately the same.

How can I change that so that I can put my backups on the cloud?

    Maybe the Mac uses full disk encryption? Clonezilla will clone everything incl. the empty areas as the entire drive contains data indistinguishable from random bits in that case. Encrypted data also does not compress.
