[feat]: Data Drive Migrations
Prerequisites
- [X] I have searched for existing issues that already suggest this feature.
Describe the Feature Request
Ability for EOS to reproduce partitions and move data from an existing embassy data drive to a new one
Describe the Use Case
This is most immediately relevant to those with an external drive, such as a Samsung T7, that would like to use an AIO case, which would require an internal SSD.
Describe Preferred Solution
Probably the best would be to have no drives connected, boot into diagnostic mode, and have an option to "clone/copy data drive." The flow would then guide the user to plug in drives, one at a time, and then perform the migration
Describe Alternatives
No response
Anything else?
No response
Wouldn't a full system restore do this as well?
Yes, this was discussed as an alternative for folks that will migrate from an external drive to an internal in order to use an AIO case. It is TBD whether it is worth it. If trivial, it would be very helpful for a subset of users, and if not trivial, it will be punted.
