Issues & Assistance Newbies

Hello, I've searched in the forum but cannot figure out so, here is my first post, sorry if this information is already here somewhere.

I'm using Garuda for a couple months and confident to use it as my primary workstation. My desktop have two hard drives, Garuda is installed on an ssd and I want to move this install to another ssd (faster and with more storage).

There is a simple way to achieve this? I know that I need to format the new ssd as btrfs but not sure how to move the install to the new ssd.

Thanks in advance

Try clonzilla iso as a boot usb. It should work with btrfs and clone one drive to the other.
And then use gparted to resize partions as required.

Check Timeshift, some time back I changed OS partition with it.
You can use timeshift from other Linux OS, if installed or from a USB media

Yes. You may have done because all was on same hdd

But he want to change the installation to another seperate physical ssd which as far I know in normal way cannot be done. Maybe there will be any other exceptional 3rd party app.

Because all those settings, file format , allocation size , meta data will complicates

First advice would be a regular backup of personal files and backuping config files and install garuda on another and personalise those manaully .
