It sounds like you're looking for the to create or write disk images (like .iso files).
While often used interchangeably, disk imaging and disk cloning have different purposes. Disk Imaging (.ISO / .IMG) Disk Cloning A single, compressed archive file. A direct copy of data to another drive. Space Takes up space equal to used data. Takes up space equal to the entire source drive. Usage Backups, creating bootable media (ISO). Upgrading hard drives/fast migration. Flexibility Can be restored to different hardware. Best for identical hardware.

An (named after the ISO 9660 format) is a single, digital file containing an exact, sector-by-sector copy of a physical disc, such as a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray. It captures the file system, boot information, and all data structure exactly as it exists on the source media. It sounds like you're looking for the to
Furthermore, the disk imager plays a vital role in reverse engineering this process. Users frequently need to write an ISO file back onto a physical medium, such as a USB flash drive, to create a bootable installer. In this scenario, the disk imager reads the data structure inside the ISO and writes it to the USB drive sector by sector. Without a disk imager, the USB drive would simply contain the ISO file as a single file, rendering it unbootable. The imager "extracts" the contents and lays them out on the drive in a way the computer’s BIOS or UEFI can recognize and execute during startup. A direct copy of data to another drive
If you meant something else by (like hardware or a specific command), just clarify and I'll narrow it down.
