You can use qemu-img from package qemu-utils.

If you copy the whole disk the boot ability is preserved.

From any temporary boot Debian system install the qemu-utils package, and image the entire disk of the unmounted, not running system to a raw, img, or compressed qcow2 file.
From that file, you can then image to a new drive. You can image from drive to drive where possible.

The new drive will boot all the same.
