    I used an automated clonezilla solution in a past life for almost 7 years. It’s incredibly flexible and customizable. I agree in your scenario using the latest tools built for that file system is the most direct route, but you’re generally wrong about clonezilla in your rant and it sounds more like a result of hitting defaults and the next button on the gui.

    With that said, I agree it isn’t that great for beginners and usually has more stable, older packages which means it could be missing latest features. It certainly is not as useful as it once was because of the great tools provided by btrfs and zfs. But, it IS still extremely useful and WILL provide a working solutions for most people in most situations. It could really use a facelift for the modern times.
