Replace installation’s SSD

[jonm]

I need to replace the SSD that Opnsense is installed on in my system. Just wondering if there's an approved/best way to do this. I was planning to boot into Linux from a USB stick and use dd to duplicate the old disk to the new. Any reason why this shouldn't work?

Thanks,

Jon.

Hi,
I've never had any problem cloning a hard drive with a hardware clone device. It should work!

Why not just

1) Full backup of config
2) Fresh install on new ssd
3) Restore config?

Not just me then? :p

Although I guess if you have any /boot/loader.conf.local customisations, these might not (wont?) make it...

Thanks all, maybe I'll try the backup/fresh install/restore approach.
