Pointer to full back-up and restore instructions?

Which Linux distro are you using? Ubuntu

Which release version? 24.04 LTS
(if rolling release without a release version, skip this question)

(If rolling release, last date updated?)

Which kernel are you using? 6.8

Which BIOS version are you using? (AMD) 3.05

Which Framework Laptop 13 model are you using? (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series, Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 1, 13th Gen Intel® Core™ , 12th Gen Intel® Core™, 11th Gen Intel® Core™) AMD 7040

I’m quite happy so far with my ten-day-old FW13. My expectations were that I’d have to fool with several Linux distros, but Ubuntu 24.04 seemed… kinda user-friendly? Best experience I’ve ever had with Linux.

A week later and I want to keep this installation; therefore my next step is to back up the whole mess and be ready to restore it when the thing falls over. Can anyone point to an end-to-end scheme for backing it up and then restoring it? (Mac with Carbon Copy Cloner was dead easy and test-able, such ability would be appreciated.)

I don’t know what strategies you use, so here’s some names for web searches:

RescueZilla/CloneZilla for a whole-system image.
Timeshift for incremental snapshots.
Duplicati for web management of backing up to external disks, local network devices and commercial cloud-type storage providers.
rclone for command-line uploading to commercial cloud-type storage providers.
rsync for command-line checksummed copying of … almost anything you might want to duplicate on a secondary storage.

K3n.

Thank you, Kenny, looks like just what I needed and am writing the usb drive now. -jet
