                APFS Container cloning/replicating under Catalina (with a bootable system)
              
          
    Today I wanted to move existing APFS-resident macOS Catalina installation to a new disk. I upgraded my late 2014 Mac Mini with
a shiny new 1TB SSD. This took way too many hours of my life I will never get back. Hope this saves some time to you.
Good news:

it is possible to create a DMG image from existing APFS container with macOS Catalina installation including metadata
needed for complete restore (the DMG contains OS, OS Data, Preboot, Recovery and VM volumes)
it is possible to restore this DMG image into empty APFS container and get a bootable copy of the original system

This information is relevant for Catalina (I'm currently running macOS 10.15.1).

In order to debug hosts that have been code-signed with the hardened-runtime entitlement, you need to re-sign them. talaviram has made a nice shell script here: https://gist.github.com/talaviram/1f21e141a137744c89e81b58f73e23c3
