Hi a and the rest of the mailing list,<br>
<br>
There are two ways _I_ would approach this...<br>
<br>
The first approach:<br>
<br>
If you are wanting to make a backup for all your files, then rysnc
is probably the way to go. I typically do this if I want to
pick-and-choose which files are put back onto the hard drive. I
*also* will do this from a live USB. I don't typically like doing
a root backup on a "live" system. I also don't prefer using
--exclude since I pick-and-choose what I want to move over. I
typically delete the extra stuff once I have set everything up on
the new hard drive, tested to make sure everything I use works,
then wait about 1 month before I clean off the remaining files. Of
course you can always just keep the old hard drive in an ESD bag,
and leave it in a safe place. If you need it, you can always mount
the drive externally. <br>

The second approach:<br>
<br>
Clonezilla can be used to take the source device and give it a 1:1
copy on the destination device. You can even copy over the
boot/swap partitions to the destination device. This is the
fastest way to transfer data from a old hard drive to a new hard
drive and have the ability to pick up right where you left off on
the old hard drive. I typically go down this route when clients of
mine are in a rush to get their computer back ASAP.<br>
<br>
Once you have Clonezilla on a USB drive, and have loaded the live
USB in the boot manager to your computer, you can follow this
tutorial.

<br>
If you do device-to-device and make sure you copy over all the
partitions, you should be able to boot off the SSD right after
you're done with Clonezilla.<br>
<br>
I hope I answered your question!<br>
