dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc , where sdb - which disk to copy, sdc - where to copy. You can copy to a file, instead of / dev / sdb specify the path to the file. This file can then be compressed with gzip. It's just an option.
Are we talking about cloning a host system or virtual systems?
In the case of a host system, no cloning is necessary. Raise a new server and migrate virtual machines to it.
In the case of virtual machines, clone them using the hypervisor.
