### other commands

    alias df='df -hT --total'       # human readable, print filetype, and total
    alias lsblk='lsblk -o "KNAME,HOTPLUG,SIZE,FSTYPE,TYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,UUID,MODEL,SERIAL"'

### usage

    ## Make sure you have enough space to save the image
    ## Image will be saved to the current shell path
    
    # backup
    df
    mkdir mysaveddata
    cd mysaveddata
    lsblk
    clonezilla-disk-cloning myusbdrive sdd
    

    ## The device/partition has to be equal or greater in order for you to restore to it

    # restore
    cd mysaveddata
    lsblk
    clonezilla-disk-restore myusbdrive_clonezilla_disk_2017_05_18 sdd
