moving from hdd to msata ssd, best options?

waghelak over 6 years ago

Hi,

I need to swap the storage on the XG firewall going from hdd to msata.

Is it best i do a clean install and restore from backup?

Any other simpler options anyone can suggest?

Thanks

The best option is to install XG from scratch and them import a backup. Make sure you have the same OS before and after otherwise backup could not work.

Hi - I am about to do the same thing (avoiding a hard drive failure). However, won't I lose all of my logs - hence reporting from the last up to 1 year.

So either is there a way to:

1) export/import the logs from the previous install

2) boot into a USB linux and copy the whole install from one disc to another?

3) Some other way to not lose logs?

Regards,

Paul,

on internet you can find "clone hdd" utility to clone the content from one hdd to another (same for ssd).

I used a paid product (we have a license for that) to perform the clone operation.
