      I have never used clonezilla's GUI. Hmmm, maybe I had but never noticed.

      To the OP, clonezilla is in a different level than dd. Yes, it
can copy a local drive partition to another local drive partition, but
it can also copy, say, and entire drive -- logical volumes included --
into images in another machine using ssh while keeping the different
partitions separated. And, as Jorge said, only copying what was
changed.
