Ask HN: Insert USB drive, image entire HD to USB so USB is bootable clone?

Do you know of any tool that could enable this use case?

Essentially you insert a sufficiently high capacity USB stick into your laptop, entirely clone the drive encryption & all as appropriate so that the USB stick becomes a full clone of your system, bootable from any other PC.

Any disc mirroring software should work. I would probably try using dd and fdisk, but if you want a graphical option clonezilla[0] might be what you want.
