Hi,
The program partclone.dd is the same function with dd, andthe only
different part is the output message.
Of course, with more output messages, it might slow (a bit?) the status
of the transfer.

Steve,
thanks for getting back to me. Will that command also show the status
of the transfer. One last thing i wanted to know, will parrclone.dd do
the same job as dd? In terms of bit by bit copying?
Thanks
Rich

Hi Rich,
Yes, partclone.dd is on Clonezilla live CD.
To clone /dev/sda1 to /dev/sdb1, for example, you can:
partclone.dd -b -s /dev/sda1 -o /dev/sdb1

command would be to copy everything (with the status) from SDA to
SDB? Sorry for asking to be spoonfed but I am not 100% clear on the
CLI& I don’t want to mess up my source.
