Hi Ionel, Agreeing with Michael, if you are migrating to a new system with a new SSD, install from scratch by booting with the appropriate .iso installer image (or extract and dd the ISO's .img(.gz) if desired). Then copy over all the /mnt/kd/ files by mounting the old SSD read-only or via a backup. Tip -> I usually "service asterisk stop" before I copy over all the /mnt/kd/ files. Alternatively, if the old SSD is only a couple years old, I would keep using it in the new system with a new blank SSD on hand as a spare. AstLinux does not stress SSDs very much, I'm still using flash storage many years old. Finally, AstLinux requires Legacy (non-UEFI) BIOS, so make sure any new mini-itx motherboard BIOS supports Legacy boot.

I could just plug in the same SSD drive, boot up and be done with it but I would love to upgrade the SSD as well. > That being said what is best way to clone the 2 SSD drives? DD or other method? I have a lot of custom stuff so re-installing the astlinux fresh and transferring manually will be a pain.
