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.
dd if=/dev/sda0 conv=sync,noerror bs=128K status=progress | gzip -c file.gz
You can add an additional pipe in there if you need to ssh it to another machine if you don’t have room on the original.
The added info from
pv
is also nice ^^If zstd is available, it is a lot more efficient and performant over gzip.
True. I’ve done that command for so long that I’ve kinda gotten gzip hardwired into my fingers.
