What are we doing for disk imaging theses days?
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.
Clonezilla and Rescuezilla The Clonezilla method takes a bit time to get used to (but I like it). Rescuezilla comes with a GUI.
To add to this. Take a look at the fog server project. It allows you to PXE boot and pull and push images in a automated way.

Clonezilla has been my goto backup / restore solution for years. I’ve used it on everything from RaspberryPi SD Cards to a Dell Poweredge server with PERC RAID controller (because some fool setup the wrong RAID parameters).
I didn’t know about Rescuezilla though… so thanks for that.
