#ClonezillaLive is an excellent tool for this job. I recommend creating a full disk image, and then restoring or in the new disk. Having an image also serves as the backup in case something goes wrong.
Backup Saturday with Clonezilla. In addition to my weekly data backups, every few months I make a clone of my laptop’s hard drive.
It’s not paranoia; it’s about trying to minimize downtime in the event of a disaster. When that happens, I can be back up and running in a matter of minutes.
You know the drill: you don’t just have to be prepared in case your hard drive dies—you have to be prepared for when it happens. And it will happen.

Sinon, il y a #Clonezilla qui ne propose pas d’abonnement et fait parfaitement l’affaire.
Pour les débutants ça ne va pas le faire, mais avec un peu d’aider ça va leur permettre de faire une petite économie 💶 de plus.
Pas négligeable par les temps qui courent 😉
#Libre #Gratuit

Sur GitHub aussi.
#ClonezillaLive, un Live CD basé sur la distribution #Debian #GNUlinux
Un excellent outil de création d'image/clonage de partition ou de disque.
Vous pouvez cloner une ou plusieurs partitions, le disque entier de votre PC vers un autre, faire une copie exacte de votre disque et l’enregistrer sous la forme d’une image système.
Il existe des tutos pour vous aider 😃
