macOS Mojave may have problems restoring disks. You can create a macOS Monterey bootable USB and boot from it to perform the clone.
- Boot from the macOS Monterey bootable drive.
- Open Disk Utility and create an empty APFS image with a single partition and read/write access. Ensure it’s larger than the source volume.
- Select that disk image from the left and click Restore.
- Restore from the source volume.
