Not for restoring grub.
After the bulk file copy (with rsync or other tool), you need to fix up
two things:
1) /etc/fstab with the new volume UUIDs
No. I want the old UUIDs and labels.
2) reinstall grub
I don't want to.
And you forget rebuilding initrd, which holds a copy of fstab. And you forget that there are encrypted partitions.
That’s it. I have successfully migrated bootable systems many times using
this procedure.
I know. Me too.
