Try this:
To create a backup of your Umbrel node for restoring during an SSD upgrade, you'll want to back up your LND (Lightning Network Daemon) and Bitcoin node data. Here are the command lines you would use in the Umbrel terminal:
Navigate to the Umbrel root directory:
cd /home/bitcoin/.umbrel
Backup the Bitcoin blockchain data:
tar -czf bitcoin.tar.gz bitcoin/bitcoin/
Backup the LND data:
tar -czf lnd.tar.gz lnd/
Backup the Umbrel app data (if needed):
tar -czf apps.tar.gz apps/
Verify the backups are created:
ls -lh bitcoin.tar.gz lnd.tar.gz apps.tar.gz
After creating these backups, you can transfer them to an external drive or a cloud storage service. When you're ready to restore the data on your new SSD, follow these steps:
Copy the backup files back to the Umbrel root directory on the new SSD.
Stop the Umbrel services:
sudo systemctl stop umbrel
Remove existing data (if reinstalling or replacing):
sudo rm -rf /home/bitcoin/.umbrel/bitcoin/bitcoin/
sudo rm -rf /home/bitcoin/.umbrel/lnd/
sudo rm -rf /home/bitcoin/.umbrel/apps/
Extract the backup files:
tar -xzf bitcoin.tar.gz
tar -xzf lnd.tar.gz
tar -xzf apps.tar.gz
Start the Umbrel services again:
sudo systemctl start umbrel
This process should help you safely upgrade your SSD while keeping all your cryptocurrency and Lightning Network data intact.
