Can't clone nVME ssd drive because it is split into 2 drive paritions?

first of all sorry if I do not explain very well or make any mistakes in my syntax.

I want to clone my ubuntu nVME disk but I am having a problem.

I have ubuntu installed on 1 nVME ssd disk when I look at it through GParted I have one 'disk' called '/dev/nvme0n1p2' which is larger and holds all of the data seemingly containing mount points '/' and '/boot/efi' with flags boot,esp and another 'disk' called '/dev/nvme1n1' which is smaller and has a fat32 system-boot with flags boot, lba, and an ext4 writable. These look like the partitions made when creating the Ubuntu install. But in Clonezilla I can only see and clone the smaller of the two of these 'disks' which means I can't get all of the user data which is on my system's disk into the cloned disk.

Thank you kindly for your help!

oldfred has suggested I include the results of sudo parted -l

Do not confuse "disks" with partitions, that is how Windows users get mixed up. Post this in question above, from your system or a live Ubuntu installer. `sudo parted -l` and `lsblk -f`

Hi oldfred, thank you very much for your help. :) I have included the requested information above in the original post.

Loops do not matter as those are your snap apps. You are using the very old MBR(msdos) partitioning. Newer gpt has been the standard for over 10 years and is recommended for UEFI boot. I would not clone, but create new gpt partition table, reinstall & restore from your backups.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
