Could you please share the partition table of your fedora 38?
BTW, is this a legacy BIOS or uEFI boot machine?

Clonezilla was working fine to make a bootable usb backup of fedora 37

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
