Yes, thanks for all your help.
I have decided to use clonezilla,
as I discovered on further reading about Acronis WD version
that "clone" for them means "clone a whole disk";
and I couldn't find any firm statement that this operation
actually left anything on the source disk.
(They use the term "transfer" throughout.)
I found the Acronis documentation hard to follow;
but to be fair Clonezilla documentation is fairly obscure too.
