@vkc ... is great! Do you know about #Rescuezilla? 100% Clonezilla compatible and much nicer GUI: https://rescuezilla.com/
Great tool to allow non-techies to create full backups of their systems.

@lupyuen Preach it.

Coders and writers gotta’ eat, y’all.

If privacy, security, and all of the other good things that come with #FOSS are important to you, then pull out your wallets and SUPPORT THE OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE THAT YOU USE.

I currently support #PiHole, #UltramarineLinux, #Rescuezilla, #Joplin, #Fosstodon, and #HomeAssistant, with plans to add more this year.

Is it a lot of money? No, but if EVERYONE contributed just a little bit, it can become something substantial.

@gnulinux

#DD ist ein sehr gutes und altes Program, hat aber auch einige Risiken für Laien, denke ich.

Für komplette BackUps bzw. Spiegel einer HDD && SDD empfehle ich → #Clonezilla, #Rescuezilla oder #Timeshift.
Besten Gruß
