I want to clone a small (80GB) disk on my CentOS server to a large (1.5TB) disk, as smart has been giving me warnings of unreadable sectors.
Both disks are Western Digital, and WD has a WD version of Acronis True Image. I'm not sure whether to use this or Clonezilla.
My worry with Acronis is that I want to keep the original disk, and I'm not sure from the documentation if True Image allows this.
Any opinions on the better of the two?
I would be inclined to suggest regular UNIX dump/restore. The size change is covered in normal UNIX fashion and all links, ownership, permissions and flags are preserved properly.
