I know about Clonezilla and copy pasting partitions with gparted, but can I just use dd to copy a partition with batocera to a USB stick and will it then boot from the stick? Do I have to set the boot flag or take any other steps?

Thank you for any tips.

    Tape ARchiver. It just takes a tree of inodes and puts it in one long format that can be written out to tape or stored as a single file.
