I know about Clonezilla and copy pasting partitions with gparted, but can I just use dd to copy a partition with batocera to a USB stick and will it then boot from the stick? Do I have to set the boot flag or take any other steps?
Thank you for any tips.
you can also use cpI wouldn’t recommend this as cp might not persist file ownership and permissions or maintain hard/soft links properly.
I guess, she meant copying not files but block devices, like
cp /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1. With GNU cp this indeed works similar todd.That’s cool, I didn’t know you could use cp on partitions.
My bad, forgot that.
How woild you do it?
Use this with tar
