Hi everyone,

I’ve just used Clonezilla for the first time to clone a 500gb ssd with only 83gb being used.

Since only 83gb were used, could I clone that system on a computer with only 128gb? Or does it need to have at least 500gb of space even if most of it wasn’t used on my original system?

Clonezilla seems really practical but isn’t so accessible and I haven’t found an answer to that question online 😇

I’m using Fedora 38 but I don’t think it really matters.

    I simply don’t find myself needing to clone drives like I did before. My professional work moved back down into the embedded space, and I tend to do fresh installs for new systems for personal use. I might pull out my old Clonezilla boot drive if I pick up a bigger NVME drive for my gaming rig this coming Cyber Monday, though.
