Which other disk backup solution do you recommend other than Clonezilla? (lemmy.ml)

I’m going to make a backup of 2TB SSD today. I will use clonezilla mainly because that’s all I know. But do you recommend any other ways for any reason?

I want to keep the process simple and easy. And I will likely take backup once a month or so repeatedly. It doesn’t have to be ready all the time. If you need more clarification, ask away.

I did a thing like this but with a ios command that wrote the disk to image and piped it to ssh but then piped it back to a waiting drive. It was great as you could pull the disk and boot right off it. Do you know if that can be done with dd?

I'd probably dd it straight on to the drive, but I'm sure you could get it to go to New Orleans and play the Macarana before it came back if you used enough pipes.
