After having a harder time than expected to backup my home dir... (lots of files...)

I'm now running elementary OS 8 Circe!

I simplified my partitioning a bit too. Though my business partner won't let me take the easy route on my work machine, of overwriting Windows...

@alcinnz I use rsync.net and just rsync everything across. Highly recommend.

@thinkMoult I ended up using SquashFS, & buying a new USB stick to feel safe reformatting it.

USB stick storage capacity is getting huge!

@alcinnz indeed - the only advantage of an online server is access over the internet. Pretty nice when sometimes I'm on my phone and I want to access a document from my home computer.
