Dear community
My boot drive is worn out as in disks overview I see wear mentioned with 96%
My server is for home use only, but family suffer if home automation not working.

My plan:
First backup existing configuration
Save pve-data as my vm's running nice and my app's (openhab, deconz and pihole) are stable.
From vm's I did already a backup and scp already externally
How can I save my pve-configuration and restore after installation?

Second.
What filesystem is best for new installation?
Consider btrfs in Raid1, as I read ZFS might wear the SSD much.

Thank you for your feedback
Regards
