I'm looking for a tool to make snapshots of the system with an ext4 system disk.

DD or CloneZilla. Both from live sessions.

Isn't disk cloning quite different from snapshot? I'm asking for learning purposes. I've used Clonezilla for a decade now and it has developed into a superior beast. None of the commercial products can beat it.

It is, but ext4 has no snapshot capability as far as I know.
