Have less data?
Cut the files in half and splice them back together if you need them?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah but I have approximately the same amount of data on both of my computers.
It’s just that one of them created maybe 10 files when the other created one really large file during the Clonezilla process.
According to the Clonezilla docs you can split the archive into arbitrarily sized chunks
Thanks I’ll have a look into that.
What’s strange is that I’ve always used the beginners mode, but Clonezilla didn’t behave the same way with the files on the two computers.
It’s a really nice program but also a bit scary when you aren’t used to it.
Maybe the Mac uses full disk encryption? Clonezilla will clone everything incl. the empty areas as the entire drive contains data indistinguishable from random bits in that case. Encrypted data also does not compress.
I don’t think so as they both have a basic Fedora 38 installation.
