I’d appreciate a sanity check for what I’m planning to do later today.

I bought a minisforum um890 recently. It has 2 m.2 nvme ports. I have the system running nobara off one drive currently, the other is unfilled. The drive has file system encryption enabled.

I backed up the root folder of my system to a 128gb usb using backintime. I enabled encryption when asked.

I plan to install a second ssd, enable raid 0 striping on the 2 drives in bios, boot from a live USB, then install nobara onto the new raid storage.

After that, i should be able to reinstall backintime then restore my backup right?

    It should work - possible that it won’t let you create a one disk raid 0, but creating a one disk raid 1 and then converting it to a two disk raid 0 should word. It’s been years since I played with a pure raid 0 (don’t see much sense in them), but managed conversion back then.
