Sounds a lot like a BCP for Linux, where /home is a separate

IT traditionally build our Windows machines and installed Windows with a
C:\ and D:\ drive. Drives weren't that large back then and they tended to
skimp on C:\.  Many Windows applications insist on putting some or all of
their stuff on C:\ guaranteeing a problem down the line. Coupled with the
