Notions

• disk cloning: disk, partition, system - copying a disk/partition/system to another one. Usually needed when changing the disk and a reinstall is not wanted. Disk cloning can be done directly or through disk imaging.
• disk imaging - save a disk/partition/system to a image. Later the image can be restored, cloned.
