I'm happy I found your tutorial! I almost gave up on creating a backup for my newly installed Ubuntu system after hours of trying to understand how it works. Your tutorial is excellent!
@ 4:00 ....JIGGA-BYTES I love English when spoken in foreign accents, it makes some of the most unsuspecting fun sometimes. I'm laughing with you/at myself not at you good sir. Your video helped. been having issues with broken bootloader's after using clonezilla to upgrade storage devices (Parrot/'Kali') and DD for one reason or the other didn't give me that issue when I did it using a liveUSB as well. I was getting tired of opening my laptop over and over lol.
Thanks Mr. Matan ?? or Abstrac Programmer. I have seen many videos on dd . I am about to make real clones of my disks. However I had the problem of running out of space after using dd. My wild guess is that I have been using the same disk running the OS while trying to clone it to another. I even used an external hard drive bigger, and it did not work. I even erased the system on another one. So I will come back to let you know that using a live session with an external OS on a CD will do the job. *** Another issue is that I have been confused with all this process of mounting and unmounting. so I guess it will be good to have a video explaining this things. About this particular video, is that it does not have close captions, and I had to repeat several times in order to get the words clearly. Many thanks again. Cheers, JS.
Thanks for comment and feedback :-) About the closed captions, it’s a good idea, I posted them for some videos and I’ll try to add them to this one as well. I didn’t really understand what problems you had with mounting/unmounting drives. Anyway, please let me know if using a live session to dd the disks helped!
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the video overall! Your suggestion about dividing the video into different sections is a good one. I appreciate your support!
How do we handle reboot and updates? For instance the physical machine that runs the hypervisor reboots automatically at a set time, then Checks for and updates on start up. How do I set it up so that when the machine readies for reboot, the VMs all shut down safely and then start up automatically when the machine boots again?
My limited understanding I was guessing to have the VMs auto shut down a minute before the machine is set to auto reboot. And then have the machine auto load the VMs. But this feels clumsy. Is there a way for the main machine to broadcast its reboot to the VMs and have the VMs shut down when they get the signal?
Excellent video! Just have a question please. I'm running a web server on Ubuntu Server for personal use. I would like to create a system clone if the OS in case I need to restore in the future. Since it's a Server version of Ubuntu (terminal only), is it also best to run a live GUI Ubuntu ISO to create the backup using DD?
Good but too long and no time codes to see what exactly you need... I need for example how to make backup.iso from USB thumb and I didn't found it yet, but I see that he doing similar (to .img file writing a partition on 12:38)... Also no used commands in video description... So I'm doing that writing backup to file on real system (Debian based) dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/home/g128/w_backup.img status=progress All my drives are still in place and piece ;) Like and Subscribe
Thank you for making a straightforward video without terrible techno music and unfocused screens like 80% of these chowderheads out there.

I got a clon finally
Put the source hard disk as a slave and cloned it onto an external hard DRIVE USB.
The main HD with its Ubuntu OS.
My CD live didn't work.
Using pentium III
30 hours to clon 38Gb
. don't know yet if. The clon works. Cheers
Wouldn't adding a "blocksize" make the DD process faster? Like "bs=4M" or 128k?
Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for 16:18

Yup. That’s what I would use even if the OS itself was the server version.
@@absprog Thanks!
thank you!
You're most welcome!👍
Heyy nice video man...😁😀
Thanks! 😀
dd is short for dump disk or disk dump
thanks for this guide, will it work with btrfs ? will it be possible to clone the disk and boot from the new disk (old removed ?
Your PC is PC windows 10 ? My PC is windows 11 . Could I install ubuntu or not?
03:56 Did you say 'jigga-bytes'?? :)
My brain was doing a little jig instead of a gig there 😅
super
DD stands for Duplicate Disk
😊
