I know about Clonezilla and copy pasting partitions with gparted, but can I just use dd to copy a partition with batocera to a USB stick and will it then boot from the stick? Do I have to set the boot flag or take any other steps?

Thank you for any tips.

    dd’ing /dev/sdx will copy all IDs

    dd’ing /dev/sdx1 will keep UUID but PARTUUID will remain the same on the destination
