I am currently running Ubuntu on a purpose built system with a 160 gig (pre-loved) sata drive. I plan, sooner or later, to upgrade to a larger new main drive (and, probably, retain the 160 gig as a second drive).
What is best as a strategy - cloning (can it be done in Linux?) or simply reinstalling afresh? Although the latter isn't unappealing as Ubuntu installation is so straightforward.
I have only cloned one system before, Windows XP Pro on my partners system using Acronis True Image, which was spectacularly unsuccessful.
