Good Day,
So the last few months I have been having problems with my Proxmox server.
It freezes/crashes between 5 times a day, to once every 5 days, super inconsistant.
I have come across new hardware, and would like to migrate.
Here's the situation:
Current Server:
I have made backups of all VM's, except for TrueNAS...
The main issue I am struggling to figure out is how to backup/migrate the TrueNAS portion.
When attempting to back up the VM, it says it is backing up 6TB (the two drives combined)
I clearly don't have enough space for this.
What would be the best (and easiest for a new user) to migrate between the two servers?
If I could do a "plug and play" option that would be first prize:
Note that all my "important" data is on the TrueNAS VM, my other VM's store information on the TrueNAS VM via network shares etc.

Here's the situation:
Current Server:
CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
RAM - 32GiB DDR3 1600 MHz
disk0 - 256GB SSD
disk1 - 3TB HDD
disk2 - 3TB HDD
(disk1 & disk2 are used in a TrueNAS VM)
New Server:CPU - Ryzen 5 3600
RAM - 32GiB DDR4 3000 MHz
disk0 - 1TB M.2 SSD
Current VM's running on my server are:100 (Immich)
101 (Plex)
102 (TrueNAS)
200 (HomeAssistant)
I also have a few storage locations:localnetwork (homelab)
TrueNAS (homelab)
local (homelab)
lcoal-lvm (homelab)
My intention is to move my server from the current to the new.I have made backups of all VM's, except for TrueNAS...

What would be the best (and easiest for a new user) to migrate between the two servers?
If I could do a "plug and play" option that would be first prize:
Shut down VM's
Shut down Host
Shut down Host
Clone 256GB SSD to 1TB NvME
Move 2x 3TB HDD's to new server
Expand storage of boot drive (to the now 1TB)
Pray it works when booting.
If "plug and play" is not possible, what's the best method of this type of migration.Note that all my "important" data is on the TrueNAS VM, my other VM's store information on the TrueNAS VM via network shares etc.
