Yes, I guess gnome-disks use something similiar as dd to clone and restore disks. I use it to make some replication on the company I work.
It is very simple and functional. I do not use .iso images. I have a backup (root partition) made from an existing installation I made and tweaked. So, with that disk image I can restore on other disks, the only thing I need to do further is to install grub2 on the restored disk... I do not have an image of the home partition. I have the files compressed in a .tar.gz file. When I "create a new disk install", I do a swap and home partition compatible with disk space and machine configuration. Then just extract those user files into /home 2014-11-16 4:36 GMT-02:00 Nio Wiklund <nio.wikl...@gmail.com>: > Den 2014-11-15 22:01, Jerry skrev: > > I've been having good results with the Disks tool started by the top > > icon in the launcher. > > Start it up, plug in your USB stick, then "restore" the disk image from > > your .iso.
