Ive been using Foxclone and its a great app thats easy to use and great for those who prefer a GUI based experience. Its definitely comparable to Clonezilla/Rescuezilla.

My only complaint is, going from a smaller to a larger drive, the app doesnt resize the cloning image such as is done with my Window apps like Minitool Shadowmaker. If the first drive is 128gb and the second is 256gb the app only uses 128gb and the rest is unallocated. You then have to screw around with Gparted and try to correct the situation. For the average user, this isnt going to fly.

Eh, for people looking for a free way to do it, they'll be willing to learn how to do parted/gparted/partitionmanager to extend it. Simply put, if you can't afford proprietary software, you can learn how to do a lot with free alternatives.

Minitool Shadowmaker is free and doesnt have the issue Foxclone has and honestly I prefer it that way.
