Subject: How can I make an efficient backup or clone of my basic linux
from scratch (lfs) system?
Good evening from Singapore,
I have just completed building my basic linux from scratch system on my
Toshiba 1 TB 3.5 inch internal SATA harddisk /dev/sdb.
There are 3 partitions in /dev/sdb. The whole harddisk /dev/sdb is 1
terabytes (TB).
/dev/sdb1 is the EFI partition (512 MB). FAT32 filesystem.
/dev/sdb2 is the LFS root partition (30 GB). ext4 filesystem.
/dev/sdb3 is the swap parition (1.5 GB).
You may refer to my redundant blog posts.

How can I make an efficient backup or clone of my basic lfs system?
Should I backup/clone /dev/sdb2 only, or backup/clone /dev/sdb1 +
/dev/sdb2, or backup/clone /dev/sdb1 + /dev/sdb2 + /dev/sdb3?
/dev/sdb3 does not include any useful information. It is just a swap
partition.
What backup or cloning software should I use? Is dd sufficient? What is
the proper command for dd?
Currently i am using the following command only:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/sdb2
of=/home/teo-en-ming/teo-en-ming-linux-2020.03-final-dd.img
Please advise.
Thank you very much.
