With the MacOS' Disk Utility, partitions are easily created, and with Carbon Copy Cloner 5 and earlier, the OS (if Mojave or earlier) was easily cloned from one drive partition to another with an applicable file-system (invariably MacOS Extended-journaled AKA HFS+), and the destination partition didn't have to be the same or larger size as the source.
My goal is to easily clone bootable partitions in dual- or triple-boot systems running less-"walled" versions of various OSes, e.g., MacOS El Capitan, High Sierra, or Mojave for intel Macs, with Windows 10 in another partition, and a Linux with a broad driver set in a third partition. So, what Windows and/or Linux tools exist that approach the functionality and ease-of-use of CCC5? (Note: CCC5 will take care of details such as carrying along hidden Recovery partitions during a clone, so recommended utilities should be similarly polished in terms of handling "remora"-partitions attached to an OS installation. I do not care if the utility doesn't work with Windows 11 or APFS versions of the MacOS from Catalina onward.)
