I very much like "duplicate" and I prefer it to "clone", although we
need to make sure that people understand that they only duplicate the
system partition (but "clone" has the same issues).
I don't like "reproduce" as it has a double meaning and for me
reproducing is more like reproduce a process, redoing something, but it
does not mean "make a 1:1 copy".
Cheers!
