I despair by the attempt to clone an ssd. Have two nvme ssds and 2 adapter to mount them via usb, thought a simple dd like dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc bs=8M count=64000 would clone it, but it doesn't.

dd says successful written, but there is no part table at the destination ssd.

With all my ohter stuff in the past this worked fine for backup/restore and I am wondering why this now fails at Ubuntu 22.04.

How do you clone an ubuntu ssd into a smaller external ssd?

Thanks

@roland, thank you for bringing us your question! Sadly, this is a somewhat complicated question. It looks like CloneZilla can do the clone task that you're looking for. See the Advanced Parameters section.

This topic was covered ad nauseam here. You actually have a bunch of options for making this happen, just none of them are exactly, perfectly what you're looking for. Let me know if this helps!
