What time does take a Linode Cloning process in the same DC?
Roughly, what time does it take to clone a Linode in the same DC, per GB? (using the Linode cloning function)
I'd like to make a clean/true/full/up-to-date backup of a Linode before upgrading it, to a newly created one.

The cloning process takes roughly a minute for every 5GB of the Linode's disk. That is, the size of the total disks for the Linode rather than the size of the files on them, so it may be worth resizing your Linode's disk to a smaller size if it's very large but isn't very full.
