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.

    Does the data change a lot? Does it need to be a block-based backup (e.g. bootable)? Otherwise, you could go with rsync or restic or borg to only refresh your backup copy with the changed files. This should be far quicker than taking a complete backup of the whole SSD.

      Thank you for the insight. Changes are incremental I suppose. You are correct that it’s more efficient. But I kind of want to back up the whole disk since I can keep a bootable drive with it right?
