New hardware, what to do best?

Hello,

I have a other thin client,which I would like to install OMV on.
What is the best way to transfer from my old NAS?

The installation disk on the new thin client is larger, now I have 2gb and the other disk is 16gb (maybe partion of 4gb for OS and rest as little harddisk or just for full use OS?)
I would like to keep my data on the disk for now on, can I put over the HDD, will OMV detect it and give me all data and shares back?

What is the best order, my thought are:

Create image from old OMV with acronis and save it to usb stick
Use G-parted to make the OS partition on new NAS
Put image on new NAS
Shutdown new NAS and install harddisk
Start new NAS ?

Or is it better to create a system backup on the old NAS en install new OMV on new NAS and restore system backup? (I dont know how restore exactly goes)

Ok, now I'm doubting between 32 bit and 64 bit installation on the new one, the new one has 64bit support, the old one is 32 bit.
Maybe other options to get it done?

ok so 64 bit will not give me any performance of something?
Maybe services as sabnzbd, domoticz, or maybe virtual machines?

And how about build things up as new, connect harddisk, wil it mount with shares and data?

Actually I have a T610 which has acceptable good AMD cpu and gpu. I'm doutbting to set it up as NAS or as KODI device, because my older T5740 isn't well for kodi and stuck on old XBMC.
The DOM's are holding good, they have wear-levelling algorytm
As omv nas does my T5740 very well, perform very good and is completly quit. Only 1 hdd fits inside.
the T610 has 2 sata connectors and ide 44 pin. so maybe more drives but dont think it will fit 2 drives. It is possible but it will be very full with wiring, and probably to hot.

Yes I think so, but it's to small 2gb almost full with omv

well, I actually decided to use the T610 as kodi box for now, maybe with a second t610 I will transform it into nas.
For now, a little question about backing up the OMV, is snapshotting or complete scheduled backups better to do....It would be nice if I somehow can wakeup the kodi box at night, and backup the OMV to a disk in het kodi box and after that shutting it down. IS that possible, whats the best way?

Ok, but can it automatically?

How about this, sounds little bit difficult to setup, shall it work?

Ok but restoring is a thing, it has to work of course. My plan is to back it up to the other thin client on an empty disk same size. I will search for a command to wake the other up over lan. And also for a shutdown of course...

No problem, I'm using the hirens boot CD sometimes and offering me this kind a things
