Ask HN: Insert USB drive, image entire HD to USB so USB is bootable clone?
Do you know of any tool that could enable this use case?
Essentially you insert a sufficiently high capacity USB stick into your laptop, entirely clone the drive encryption & all as appropriate so that the USB stick becomes a full clone of your system, bootable from any other PC.
