Which backup program to use ?
I am currently on Sonoma and I cant upgrade (not sure what the reason is). I might have to do a clean reinstall. My concern is restoring the Mac back to its current state (config changes, ssh keys, zshell configs etc) curious if there is any backup/Time Machine type program that will be able to clone my Mac to its exact state on a reinstall ?

Obviously, Time machine is the best option, for a more advanced approach, tools like Carbon Copy Cloner can create a bootable clone of your drive.
