I recently formatted my Chromebox and installed GalliumOS as a replacement for the old Kodibuntu install. After I got everything up and running (SMB share, Airplay etc.) I realized that I really should replace the internal 16 GB SSD with something bigger. There are reasonably priced 256GB M.2 SATA III SSDs over at AliExpress, so I was thinking about getting one. I really don't want to start over again, so I'd prefer to clone the existing drive.
But I've never cloned an SSD on a Linux-based system before. Have anyone done this with their Chromebox before? I've been thinking about buying this M.2 to USB adapter. Is is as simple as inserting the new SSD into this adapter and run a disk cloning program on the Chromebox?
Thanks!
you're looking at this the wrong way:
* use LE backup function to backup to USB/network location
* install new SSD
* install LE
* restore backup
cloning the drive is unnecessary and adds complexity when a simple solution already exists
Sorry for being a noob, but can you point me in the right direction where LE backup software is?
