K.3. Cloning NTFS file systems
The NTFS FSIM can run the ntfsclone utility to
copy an NTFS file system from one volume to another.
ntfsclone is faster than dd
because it only copies the files and the file system data instead
of the entire contents of the volume.
The following options are available for running ntfsclone
on an NTFS file system:
- target
The volume onto which the file system should be cloned.
- force
Force ntfsclone to copy the file system
even if it detects that the volume is dirty. The default is false.
