- Make a bootable USB drive from an isohybrid file (such like `archlinux-xxx.iso`) and show the progress:
`dd if={{path/to/file.iso}} of={{/dev/usb_drive}} status=progress`
- Clone a drive to another drive with 4 MiB block, ignore error and show the progress:
`dd if={{/dev/source_drive}} of={{/dev/dest_drive}} bs={{4M}} conv={{noerror}} status=progress`
- Generate a file of 100 random bytes by using kernel random driver:
`dd if=/dev/urandom of={{path/to/random_file}} bs={{100}} count={{1}}`
- Benchmark the write performance of a disk:
`dd if=/dev/zero of={{path/to/file_1GB}} bs={{1024}} count={{1000000}}`
- Generate a system backup into an IMG file and show the progress:
`dd if={{/dev/drive_device}} of={{path/to/file.img}} status=progress`
- Restore a drive from an IMG file and show the progress:
`dd if={{path/to/file.img}} of={{/dev/drive_device}} status=progress`
- Check the progress of an ongoing dd operation (run this command from another shell):
`kill -USR1 $(pgrep ^dd)`
