That's incredibly simple, I was expecting something much more cryptic and difficult.

As for HD cloning and backup. Do you have any suggestions on software?
My preference would be making a HD image and transfer it onto the Floppy Emulator.  Clone it to SD card before I start repairs etc.

I'm sure there were cloning (even resizing) apps back in the day.  But with drives of differing sizes, it's really just as simple as dragging the contents of one disk and dropping it on another.  The System folder will get "blessed" (become bootable, in Mac parlance) just by double-clicking on it.  An added benefit is that your "clone" drive's contents are defragmented in the process.

Asheville is a lovely part of the state - especially come fall.  I'm in the Raleigh/Durham area.
