I have a system running RL v.8.5 with the system itself running from a 1 TB internal SSD (sda). I have a 1 TB external USB3.1 SSD. How do I copy/clone my system onto the external SSD so that I can recover the system from the external SSD in the case of a disaster?

How to clone running system to bootable external SSD?

Clonezilla is pretty good for that.
