CloneZilla works fine on all disk types, it's OS independent.  I've used it dozens of times on my emulated Amiga disks, my OS4 drives, and my MOS drives.

A disk is a disk to CloneZilla.

Thank for your responses, I'm getting a bit paranoid about doing this as there seems to be so many opinions about 'how to'. One thing has come to mind with a CF solution, does the original Os write back to the drive for caching etc? Just thinking about the limited number of write a CF might have. Has anyone tried an ssd solutiion? Apologies if the questions appear very noob :-D

I have been using 4gb to 32gb cf's in almost all of my amigas for many years(sandisk,transcend) and have yet to have a failure.
Cf's are quiet,fast and ultra low power and make the slowest amiga feel faster with the fast access times.
 My main A4000 mediator/csppc amiga uses 2-32GB cf's for over 7 years now and runs 24/7.
If you go cf,buy good media and beware of media from ebay,as much of it is counterfeit.

You can copy an HD on Amigas in the same way you'd do it with a peecee. Just add the new HD to the system, partition it, and copy the contents over.
