The title pretty much speaks for itself… I have a linux install that I’ve spent a considerable time configuring, which is unfortunately installed on a drive that’s starting to show signs of dying.
My question is: how, if there is a way, can I migrate said linux install over to a different drive, while preserving all the configurations and such.
EDIT: Thank you to everyone who commented! I made the transfer, using dd and it went mostly smoothly, even if it did take a while.
If you suspect a failing drive, you may want to consider using ddrescue as opposed to
dd. The tool is specifically designed to help with failing disks.
