So… just boot live system and connect via ssh to it, then do the copy. Ok, will try it!
format and partition the drive as you want it - mimicking the one you have now - then mount the partitions to … somewhere (/mnt for instance)
then copy to that mount point
and I think rsync is easier and more efficient over the network
or you can use scp (instead of cp)
There are certain caveats when you want to copy a running system - it’s easier to do it with a live system on both sides.
For example: the contents of /dev /sys and /proc cannot! be included when you copy from your running system!
