I know about Clonezilla and copy pasting partitions with gparted, but can I just use dd to copy a partition with batocera to a USB stick and will it then boot from the stick? Do I have to set the boot flag or take any other steps?

Thank you for any tips.

    I often use pv instead of cat for this. And there’s some ‘hack’ where some tool looks at some kernel feature to guess progress of cp & co. But i forgot it’s name.
