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.

I did look at clonezilla, briefly, but had to discard the idea, as my setup violated two of its rules:

# The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one.

In my case the / partition on machine A is larger than the disk on machine B.

# The partition to be imaged or cloned has to be unmounted.

I can't stop machine A, as the partition table has been destroyed and it would not re-boot.
