I'd like to make a super simple drive clone that I can run my wife's PC by just plugging in a USB key or inserted a CD or whatever. Basically I don't want to perform any actions besides plugging the key in, so that she could do it. I do not want to run it from within Windows, because I don't trust that type of backup and I'd also like to use this same concept on linux machines that typically lack an installer anyway.
I see that macrium can actually create a rescue media that will automatically restore an image to a disk, but not create/update an image from the disk. At least, I've had no luck finding a reference to the later.
The closest thing I've found so far is its probably possible to do with clonezilla. But I'm not sure clonezilla can seamlessly realign partitions for SSDs so I'm not sure its the best choice. I'm looking for some other options.
