Yesterday, I rebooted my server and it wouldn't start anymore. I had to rebuild it from scratch and apply my backup. (I made a backup right before rebooting, as I always do). I went from a 4 TB drive to a 8 TB drive. I will spend the next few days making sure that everything works. My various websites should be working. The Plan : - I installed Ubuntu Server 22.04. - I made a copy of the original /etc/ folder. - I rsync'd the /etc/ folder from my backup 4 TB drive to my new 8 TB drive. - I overwrote /etc/fstab with the one that was installed. - I also rsync'd my /home/ and /var/www/ folders. I am now in the process of reinstalling everything. Once I am done, I will put the new 8 TB backup drive into my server and make a new backup on it. (I have two drives in my server : a "main" one and a "backup" one. When one goes bad, I replace it.)
