From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They are two different things.
A Clone of an OS install is not needed anymore, for a jillion reasons.
Personal files do not relate to that.
Perhaps you don't understand how these are intended to work?
Heyha ! Read about dd on makeuseof after reading your post, to see how it works.
Restoring from an image seems exactly what I was looking for as a full backup restore.
However this kind of 1 command backup isn't going to work on databases (mariadb, mysql...). How should I procede with my home directory where all my containers live and most of them having running databases?
Does it work with logical volumes? Is it possible to copy evrything except /home of the logical volumes?
Okay, thank you :)) too bad it looked liked a simple and elegant way...
