Does Clonezilla play nice with UEFI/GPT bootable drives now? Used to use it but went elsewhere as wouldn't handle these at one time.
4th bullet in the Features list says "Both MBR and GPT partition formats of hard drive are supported. Clonezilla live also can be booted on a BIOS or uEFI machine".Macrium Rflect Free:

Very easy to use & will copy all partitions, unlike some of the alternatives. Make a Rescue disk/USB first - it's all described on the website.
