SSD starting to break down, how to transfer to a new disk?

joq3 · Aug 6th 2020

I am worried my SSD is quickly degrading. I have noticed a few weird things. How do I manage to transfer all my data and settings to a new drive?

Is Clonezilla the way to go? I'm thinking if it is possible to first install OpenMediavault and then transfer the files? So I don't copy the bad sectors?

Or what are your suggestions?

I would make screenshots of the settings in the GUI of OMV.

Then make a copy of config.xml

Finally do a fresh installation on a fresh, tested SSD.
