You're getting some great answers here. I use rsync after really only
trying dd alternatively. I have both cognitive (comprehension) and
memory loss issues, and somehow rsync is working where others tend to
confuse me more.

Rsync also successfully copied Ubuntu from one hard drive to another
WHILE Ubuntu was in use. Am working from that copy right now. There
was nothing to it once I got the hang of how to exclude all
unnecessary files and how to declare the source and target
directories. :)
