  I used RescueZilla which is supposed to be a friendlier CloneZilla and the process was exactly the same.

• Scared of migration

  Rescuezilla is a simple utility to use for the backup. Boot it up, tell it to back up your drive and tell it where to store the backedup files, and you're done. Restore is similarly easy: point it to the backup file, tell it which drive to restore to, done. Source: over 2 years ago
