The most time-consuming part of the job was finding the particular command with the correct args that actually worked-- not the command or utility that "should" work or that "theoretically ought to" work-- but one which in fact *did* work. So if anyone actually finds a faster way to clone a system-- meaning they've run the command(s), and done the testing to determine that it was successful-- I'm all ears.

That's what clonezilla is all about. And it is released frequently on both debian and ubuntu (the 'alternative' version) live bases so it has pretty good hardware handling.
