You probably don't need an image, but just a filesystem copy. 'rsync' or 'tar' is the answer.
An image is faster for doing full recovery, and it also covers the booting. No thinking needed ;-)
If the files backup is to hard disk, rsync is more advantageous than tar; easier to recover a single file, a redo only copies the modifications, more resilient to errors, can do CRC checksums...
A dd runs faster than a full rsync - for each file the directory table and an inode have to be written on another place of the disk, so head movements. A disk image like dd writes many contiguous tracks.
It will depend on the situation. A 'dd' will copy unused space needlessly.
True (but not clonezilla). On my systems, dd is typically faster, I did the test :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
