In reply to Michael B. @Michale, Certainly! For cloning a partitioned 250GB SSD with both Ubuntu and Windows onto a larger SSD in Ubuntu, you can use the 'dd' command or tools like 'Clonezilla' or 'GParted.' These tools provide options to clone entire partitions or drives efficiently. Make sure to create a backup before cloning to avoid any data loss. Let's use the 'dd' command as an example for cloning a partitioned 250GB SSD to a larger SSD in Ubuntu: Assuming your source drive is /dev/sdX (replace X with the appropriate drive letter) and your target drive is /dev/sdY, you can use a command like this:

sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY bs=4M status=progress

I’m looking for something to clone a partitioned 250GB SSD that has Ubuntu & Windows on it onto an larger SSD – something like an Ubuntu version of Carbon Copy Cloner that I use on my Mac.

Any recommendations ?

I was trying to mount clonezilla from a zip file and noticed that Etcher has an option to "clone disk"; I had a look to see if it would clone the system I was using and it did (which I'm using now), so that seems the easiest way to move from a smaller to a larger drive though no option for moving single partitions...

In reply to Coreene Kreiser. Freefilesync has never done a byte for byte copy for me to create a bootable copy. Good luck
