Clonezilla was working fine to make a bootable usb backup of fedora 37 but
stopped working when I upgraded to fedora 38.  Perhaps has to do do with
Grub2?

I have a single 500 gb LVM2 partition with /root, /swap, /opt, & /home
blocks.  I don't really understand Grub2 but apparently the /boot files are
a subdirectory of Grub and not part of the partition?

These are the config, initramfs, System.map, and vmlinuz files needed for
booting.

I've tried cloning the drive 3 times using the latest Clonezilla live,
using disk to disk to try to make a backup on an external usb drive.

The clone is successful, but none of the boot files ever get cloned, and
thus the usb is not bootable nor mountable because it doesn't have a  file
system without the boot files.  Therefore in the event of of main disk
corruption, crash, etc. and the need to restore from the USB, it wouldn't
work because there are no boot files cloned to the usb.

So how would I go about making a useable backup disk with Clonezilla given
the grub2 problems I've encountered?

Thank you,
Bob
