What's your backup regimen? I'm thinking:
- Images with Foxclone.
- Snapshots with Timeshift.
- Files with Borg.

Ich habe mir für einen neuen Laptop jetzt mal 32 GB RAM und eine 2 TB NVMe SSD bestellt und habe mich mal umgeguckt, wie man denn eine Platte so klont, vor allem in #Linux. Videos reden von #Clonezilla oder #Foxclone. Dann ich habe mal #perplexityai gefragt und was kam heraus?
sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb status=progress
Warum nicht gleich so? Warum muss man immer alles so kompliziert machen, wenn es nicht sein muss? DD ist doch super easy. -
Also, if you need to clone a drive, from my experience, FoxClone is good. I recommend it.
It is basically a minimal Linux distro that boots from a USB drive or disc (I burned it on a CD) and has a number of Linux drive/partition management tools included in addition to the FoxClone backup/cloning software itself.
The PDF instructions for FoxClone are also included right on the FoxClone desktop, and they were very helpful.
Anyway, my two cents.

And, as of today, I have been running Linux Mint for 1 year.
On 12 June 2023 I took out my 1 GB Windows 10 SATA HDD and 16 GB Optane drive and replaced them with an old 1.5 GB 7200rpm SATA HDD that had been stored 10 years.
After a few months on Mint, in November 2023, I saw in my S.M.A.R.T. logs that the very old HDD was returning some errors and reporting some bad sectors so I used #FoxClone to clone my Linux install to a brand-new (Crucial T500) 2 GB NVMe SSD.
