Hi everyone,

I’m a happy Fedora 38 user on my Surface Go 1.

In fact I’m so happy with it that I just wanted to clone the whole thing with Clonezilla and put it on my girlfriend’s MacBook Pro which has reached end of life support for MacOs.

Sadly on the Surface Go it’s almost impossible to boot from an USB drive (had to rely on windows recovery to do it the first time, might be usb-a to usb-c adaptor related) and I’ll really have to do a clean install on her Mac.

For such situations, I find it crazy that you don’t have an effective graphic tool to fo an easy backup. Especially because Fedora is so great for everything else.

You could say, use Timeshift, but it would mean doing some alterations I’m not at ease with as I don’t want to end up destroying the system I’m trying to backup and clone.

Does anyone know if it’s on the developers roadmap?

    I use deja dup because I have a lot of useless (unencrypted) storage from organisations. Deja dup backs up my data in an encrypted and easy to use fashion. It is a gnome app but I use it in KDE.

      Well Clonezilla worked for me, thanks.

      Although it ain’t so easy and I haven’t recovered an image yet.
