Re: how to create an image of your debian computer hard drive for cloning

This takes about 30 minutes. Alternatively if one really want to do bare
metal recovery; image products from Paragon and Acronis are the best
choice.


With clonezilla it is something like this:

- Boot clonezilla livecd
- Restore image
- Remove CD & reboot in new system

Should take 5-10 minutes, depending on how big the image is.
