Hello world!

I have 5 questions ->>>
So I have proxmoxVE 4.4 installed as a test on a separate 70GB HDD homelab using cheap solution based on AMD 9590 and Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 R5 and now I'm happy with results!

So I got 250GB Samsung 850EVO.

1. Is there a way to move proxmox like RAW copy including all boot sectors and stuff and then expand it's partition or smthing?

It's not a big deal to reinstall it but I already configured couple of VMs with Video Card and USB Passthrough, so would be nice to not redo all of it again.

On the other side I would like to
2. add another 3TB HDD as an VMs and Containers image and backup store.

Also I know nothing about "thin" and "provisioning", clustering and all those flavors of unusual filesystems. Also may be I have to put it on a different machine or as a NAS server?

In general my target is to:
have multiple VMs (Win, Mac, Linux) to use locally
3. make a local clone of this server and keep both in sync
4. make online copy of this server on Amazon S3 or similar provider and keep in sync (if not - rent a rack and put own hardware from previous step)

5. Some advise, reading to start with and examples of configuration would be amazing!
Thanx in advance!
