The system runs , so it cannot simply be cloned and booted on a . The real task is to move the server’s data and settings safely to a or an external drive.
Key points
- The server has been using a as its main drive for about ten months.
- Using a as long-term server storage can put valuable data at risk.
- The existing system runs , which cannot be copied straight over and booted on a .
- The goal is to move the data and setup to a or an external drive safely.
- Temporary server setups need a storage and backup plan once they become important.
