Export and clone partition table from 1 disk to another


For example, assuming that our disk is /dev/sda , to save the partition table we can give the command:

sfdisk -d /dev/sda > partitions.txt


while to restore it, assuming that the destination disk is /dev/sdb and we want to clone the partition table, we can use the command

sfdisk /dev/sdb < partitions.txt
