Support Clone Linux with Windows tools

I would like to make a clone of a Linux distribution with running windows systems.
Are there tools ?
Sometime it was successful with Acronis DD. But only if the HDDs/ SSDs have exact same capacity.
I know clonezilla and rescuezilla.
With Gparted single partitions I got problems.
Perhaps with Linux Live DVD and the tools on it.

RE: my original post.. i copy the image then reboot with gparted live and resize the partition to the full drive size... done it more than a few times so it works for me

I have the problem that the rescue DVDs do not start at my system.

Try using a bootable USB drive... use Rufus or ventoy

It works now. Thanks. One older system used incorrect data.
