Cloning

bluelakecompany@yahoo.com

On a 5 TB external hard drive (Seagate backup plus), I am going to use 2-3 TBs for Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon 64 bit, leaving the rest blank. Can I clone just the Linux part, 2-3 TB, so that I don't have to have a 5 TB blank external hard drive, just a 2-3 TB, to restore to?

What cloning program would be best?

1) Have you asked Linux Mint Forums? https://forums.linuxmint.com/
2) Generally, Clonezilla is probably best. https://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/clonezilla
