What are we doing for disk imaging theses days?
Ddeez nuts
dd ?
DD is the best for 1-1 copying, but I like to use CloneZilla, because it can compress and encrypt the images.
Ones I have used: GNOME Disks’ create and restore image features. Possibly Mint’s mintstick for writing a distro’s .iso out to a USB stick. I am not too sure on that.
I assume old-school dd still works as well, which might be a better option for scripted backups or minimal systems.
After learning how to install medicat i discovered ventoy. With ventoy you can copy and paste how ever many bootable iso files you like into it and run them all from the same drive/partition from a selectable boot menu. It’s amazing, I won’t be using dd anymore for boot disks.
Careful where you point that thing. I unintentionally disrupted someone’s life by introducing them to ventoy. Now they have been distrohopping like crazy because of how easy it is.
