Well, I expected some tips on this "cloning".
_Whiping everything clean before using the backup would surely work
but is quite drastic.
_Of c ourse you could leave untouched your personal documents,
photos, and so on ; it's better not to delete and restore them.
_I fear (not sure) that just overwriting with the backup-files may cause problems,
for instance if a new app uses an existing config file.

Then I'm sorry I cannot help.
-----------------------------------

Thank you all for enlightening me about cloning.

My question was naive because I never thought Ray would have used a
specialized cloning program, as I never used such a program on Linux, where
installation is so swift and easy (as opposed to M$) and doing fresh install
of new versions gave me some training on how to set my preferences back in the
various apps I use.
