Cloning your hard drive, the easy way (with Clonezilla)
Does anyone read descriptions anymore? If you read the description, comment with "That's a bossy video". Shoot, is that engagement farming? Oh well.
What? Oh, right, I'm supposed to be describing this video.
It's about Clonezilla! I love using Clonezilla for backing up my disk drives to images. It's also helped me out to be able to convert a physical machine to a VM easily. It's such a simple tool and I'm really thankful to the folks who made it.
You can check out the tool at https://clonezilla.org/.
Also, I wrote a companion blog post for this video: https://vkc.sh/clonezilla-101
And if you like the shirt I'm wearing, I sell it over on my merch store: https://vkc.sh/product-tag/test-your-backups/
Lastly, I couldn't do this without the supporters I have on Patreon and Ko-Fi, who foot the bill for all of this nonsense. If you want to join our Discord-slash-Matrix, tiers start at $2/mo USD. Thank you!

That’s a bossy video.
(I feel manipulated.)
I've had mixed results with clonezilla with windows cloning, particularly with the boot breaking.
DD works quite well, but has a few limitations as well.
Thankfully I hardly clone so each is its own puzzle.
I've found encrypted drives have issues with dd/clonezilla.
Heh. My first thought when reading the title was "just use clonezilla?", and turns out I was correct. It's a classic tool for a reason.
She is pretty.
Everybodyies downvoting me but I would legit eat her ass.
Not really, for me, anyway, but it's good to have such diversity among us or else the human race would go extinct, haha.
