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.

    What usually specified in fstab and other configs are FS UUIDs, not partition UUIDs. They are kept when cloning with dd.
