Did this in the past with a

Wouldn't a Qubes OS command like "clone drive" (that re-creates the
partitions, VGS, LVs, etc. on a new drive, optionally resizing the LVs)
be useful?
My idea would have been to create a corresponding VG (initially under a
different name), the LVs, and then "dd" the old LV contents into the
corresponding new LVs. However that would work best when started from a
different system, because when you "swap" old with new you would have to
vgrename qubes_dom0 qubes_dom0_old
vgrename qubes_dom0_new qubes_dom0 # assuming your new VG is named
qubes_dom0_new
A fresh install is also a way. Just backup all your VMs and restore them
later on the new system. I -for myself- would do such a new install /
rename all new and fresh vms to somewhat "original-xxxxx" and then
restore the backup.
So you have your old system beside fresh installed original cubes from a
actual Qbs installation.

Hello All,
I'm a long-time user of Qubes. I'm upgrading my laptop from a 256GB SSD
to a 1TB SSD. I wanted to check whether it is preferable to clone the
existing drive to the new one and expand the volumes, or whether I
should do a fresh Qubes install on the new drive and restore from
backup. I've not had great luck with Qubes' restore process in the
past,
but it's been a long time since I've needed to use it. Also, if the
fresh install/restore method is preferable, should I install Qubes with
the "Do not configure anything" option checked so that none of the
default VMs are created?
Thanks.
