How to do a Full clone a Proxmox System?

[gerardgarcia]

Hi there!

I'm wondering if theres a way to make a full clone of a Proxmox System.
I have an NVME 1tb with My Proxmox System and some VMs inside, but I'm planning to migrate to a bigger one.

So the plan is to buy a 2tb NVME Drive, an USB NVME case and do the clone.

But I don't have any idea of how to do that.

Thanks

you can use a tool like Clonezilla

I never had much luck with Clonezilla on a PVE OS disk - I believe it doesn't correctly deal with the partition structure. I just use the regular dd command (carefully!) - never had a problem.

One tip: Don't have both disks connected to the same running PVE instance at any time. (To do that you probably need to adjust UUIDs/GUIDs etc.).
