using Partclone.dd (Full Backup & Restore using dd mode )

• lsblk
• sudo partclone.dd -s /dev/device -o /home/backups/device.img (Backup drive to file)
• sudo partclone.dd -s /home/backups/device.img -o /dev/device (Restore file to drive)

explain Partclone

• show ncurses progress = -N
• source file or device = -s
• output file or device = -o
• set buffer size = -z 4096 (useful for raspberry pi)
