Not specifically Archlinux, but I am using Archlinux on my laptop, so I thought I'll ask here.

I am planing to replace my 1 TB M.2 SSD in my laptop with a 2 TB M.2 SSD, and I am wondering how to clone the whole 1 TB SSD and restore it onto the 2 TB M.2 SSD.

I have read about people using $dd for that, but I never did that. Can anybody confirm that this is possible?

I am running two partitions, one boot and the other one is a crypt device with btrfs + subvolumes inside.

Is there anything I have to consider, before doing this?

Thank you for your time.

I use Rescuezilla to clone disks for work. It’s clonezilla with a nice GUI and livecd environment. 😀
