I want to migrate my Umbrel from a 1 TB SSD to a 2 TB SSD. I found a guide on the forums using on cloning the SSD with a Win PC using Macurim. I then Build the 1 TB (Source) SSD into my Win PC. Now, The SSD is not visible in Windows, tough I can find it in the disk management tool. I next connected the disk via an USB-SATA adapter and the results were the same. I guess this is due to the file system? I have not installed Macurim since the disks arent visible in windows. By now, I think I should have more success by using a live boot clonezilla environment on the win pc since this can access the file system. Has anyone done this? Did it work? Are there any bumps that I should be aware of? Thanks! ---

I just finished this migration. I had my node on pi4 with m.2 SATA 1TB ssd and needed to replace with 2TB m.2 SATA ssd. - downloaded Foxclone live USB image and set the live USB using balenaEtcher - connected both source and target ssd’s to my Win11 PC - boot into the Foxclone live USB environment - Select clone tab for disk-to-disk clone. Foxclone UI shows disk information to help correctly identify the right disks for this operation. - Clone operation proceeded at nice clip. Both disks were SATA SSDs and Foxclone completed the initial cloning in 52mins for 860 GB of content. - 2TB target disk now had a 1TB partition with the file content and 1TB of unallocated space. - Launched GParted (available in System Tools in the menu of the live USB environment) to expand the initial partition to 2TB. - GParted doesn’t show detailed disk info, so had to click around to confirm the disk/device I had selected was the target/cloned disk. - selected to resize the disk to the full 2TB - booted my pi4 with the target disk and all fine, 2TB space was recognized. I was fortunate my pi4 runs on an Argon case with the ssd on a separate tray with USB3 connector, which doubled as an enclosure for the cloning operation, and the motherboard had a free on-board connector able work with the target 2TB sata ssd. If you only have a single enclosure for ssd, you can still do this operation if you have free space in another drive by doing a backup of the 1TB source disk followed by a restore to the 2TB target disk. ---

Thank you so much, cloning and resizing worked perfectly with foxclone! ---

Yesterday, I did try this approach and work beautifully, thanks so much for sharing! Except for the Umbrel 1.4 upgrade even though it was already there on the old 1 TB disk, somehow this wasn’t taken into account and the new 2 TB disk has the Umbrel 1.3 version. I have been trying to update it but unfortunately it didn’t work. Do you happen to know how to fix this? I even tried with the command: sudo mender install [https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.4.0/umbrelos-pi.update](https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.4.0/umbrelos-pi.update) && sudo rugpi-ctrl system reboot --spare and still not working. Thanks!
