Hi I will be looking to replace my dietpi boot disk which is an m.2 drive in the PC as its SATA not nvme. Whats the best way to do this and keep all my data ? Will making a dietpi-backup off disk and restoring this to new drive work? Or as the fstab will be looking for my old sata drive will it break? Should I clone the ssd to a the new drive? Any help appreciated I dont want to rebuild if possible but not the end of the world if this is easier.
You can kinda follow this blog post:
Only difference is you’re using an NVME drive and not USB/eMMC.

Hmm how can this work as I can ony have one m2 drive available in the machine. Its already using m2 as boot disk its just not an NVme one. Would I go to usb then back to new m2 drive after its installed?
Connect your NVMe via usb if you have an adapter
I dont but can get one, when done would it just be a case of swapping out the drives internally? I dont want to use it as a USB drive permantly. Sorry for the dummy questions but not that up on imaging etc on linux and how it mounts drives.
Usually it should be possible to swap drives afterwards

Thanks. I ordered a USB adaptor off Amazon so will try this over the weekend.
Good choice. If not working you could return it simply
