![]() I note there is a “rest-server” which, at first glance, looks Very Very Interesting. (There are also backups of /etc & /boot.) I use restic for my backups of OLD (to external (USB3) HDDs), but those particular backups are “partial” in that they are just of part (not all) of /home. The difference in this case is both machines will continue to be used (albeit OLD needs some repair (not relevant)), so as an added plus, if the “copy” of OLD on NEW could also serve as an updateable/appendable backup, that is a very useful bonus. ![]() I’ve been using *ix systems for c.40 years and know there are many ways of doing this, having done it before in a number of different ways (cpio(1) magtape, SFTP, physically moving the HDD, etc.). Not the filesystems per se, just every single file (excepting stuff like device nodes and so on). I’m now deciding on a strategy for transferring all the files (including metadata) from OLD to NEW. My old laptap (“OLD”), Kubuntu 18.04.something LTS, with an almost-full 1TB HDD (LUKS encrypted) with restic 0.9.6. I’ve recently acquired a new laptop (which I’ll call “NEW”) running Kubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, with c.6TB of SSD (LUKS encrypted) with restic 10.0.
