Prepping for 42.2 to 42.3 update (yes, I'm actually going to try -- rather than clean install), I want to dump an image of my current 42.2 system to a spare 1T drive. I never do this (other than brute force dd images or shove the spare drive in an use parted to copy partitions).
What is the current favorite (FOSS) disk imaging utility being used. I'm not looking for long - HOWTO answers, just a project name to go look at.
(If I was just doing a clean install, I'd just use a new drive :)
Plain dd :-)
Actually, I'd use dd_rescue, or rather, dd_rhelp. If you use this method, don't forget to regenerate uuid's for the cloned
