Replace data hard drive with new one

Hi,

I have OMV5 with nextcloud. I want to replace 2nd HDD with new one. How I can copy all information on existing HDD to new one complete with all permission, settings and files?

1st HDD has OMW.
2nd HDD files/Data

Thanks

i would use the rsync method:

sudo rsync -aAXv /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1

Make sure to edit the sda1 and sdb1 acording to your sdd's.

cou can check this via lsblk

You can also take this as a great opportunity to test your backup procedures.

Remove the drive in question and pretend that it is broken.

The add the new drive and restore from backups. Don't use the old drive, it is broken, remember...
