Cloning large disk into small disk with exact sector
This post is categorized in Storage General Discussion.
Disk 1 2TB HDD GPT
Disk 2 1.9TB NVMe GPT
The data on Disk 1 has been accidentally formatted, and now I want to recover it. It is much faster for me to use my recovery software on the NVMe instead of HDD for speed. I want to clone all data that may fit from Disk 1 to Disk 2, I want to use Exact-Sector-By-Sector method. This means the last 0.1TB of Disk 1 will not be cloned, and that is OK, I don't need 100%.
I am not aware of a feature in BU or PA that can do this task. I am asking what other software, perhaps Linux software that can do this unusual task. Is there a way to do this in Linux GParted, Gnome Disks, DD, Clonezilla? Thank you.
