*IMPORTANT:* Commands in this video cover 'cloning' of disk / file location, to another disk, or file. If you write directly to /dev, this will OVERWRITE the disk. If wanting to add them to existing files on a disk, it's important to specify the full path on disk to send the file to. Such as: dd if=/dev/sda of=/home/user/backup.img.
