Hi,
I was wondering what is safer and what are differences between using clone dev-to-dev with gparted or partclone..
As for partclone..the sentence command in order to clonning a btrfs partition is as followed (very easy ):
sudo partclone.btrfs -b -N -s /dev/sourceDev -o /dev/targetDev
But, when using gparted copy/paste for non ntfs partitions.. the log stdout application tell us it uses own algorithm to commit it.. I suspect It does mores operations than just simple partclone command previows line...
What do you think ..is it a good way to go, using gparted copy/paste partition?

What is safer/better gparted or parclone dev-to-dev?

They are both good. Another important question may be, "How old is your copy?" Programs such as these can sit in your desk drawer for years and may not work well on newer hardware. When I bought a SSD my old version of Clonezilla couldn't recognize it. Partclone is the backup application in Clonezilla and in Redo Rescue.

by the way, didnt know about Redo Rescue Livecd.. I guess, it must be an open Parted Magic distro fork try.

I think it is more preference than anything else. For me for partition stuff in general I have been using gparted a long time and I trust it, but if I am copying an entire drive I would rather just get the copy started quickly and if the destination drive is larger worry about adjusting the partitions later.
If I don't have a reason to think the source drive has a problem, I have been using pv the last couple of years.
If I want to copy sda to sdb it's a quick
and walk away. If time is a concern then I would do one of the other methods that don't require copying parts of the drive where no data is stored.
