I’m going to make a backup of 2TB SSD today. I will use clonezilla mainly because that’s all I know. But do you recommend any other ways for any reason?

I want to keep the process simple and easy. And I will likely take backup once a month or so repeatedly. It doesn’t have to be ready all the time. If you need more clarification, ask away.

    I can’t automate full disk backups as I can’t run dd reliably from a system that is itself already running.

    Can’t you do a snapshot like VSS does on windows and back that up on a running system? I assume with a filesystem that supports snapshots that would be possible.

      I’m sure there’s ways to do it, but I can’t do it and it’s not something I’m keen to learn given that I’ve already kind of solved the problem :p
