cleanup: Archive old complex scripts and documentation

- Move all old complex backup scripts to old_scripts/
- Archive previous documentation versions
- Clean up temporary files and debian packages
- Update README to focus on new simple system
- Keep only the enhanced simple backup system in main directory

Main directory now contains only:
- simple_backup_gui.py (GUI interface)
- enhanced_simple_backup.sh (CLI interface)
- list_drives.sh (helper)
- simple_backup.sh (basic CLI)
- SIMPLE_BACKUP_README.md (detailed docs)
- README.md (project overview)

+# Simple and Reliable 1-to-1 Clone Solution
+
+## Problem Analysis
+
+The LVM migration failed because it introduced too much complexity:
+- Complex LVM setup with volume groups and logical volumes
+- Initramfs configuration issues with LVM modules
+- Boot loader configuration changes
+- Multiple mount points and potential failure scenarios
+
+The screenshot shows a boot failure where the system can't properly initialize, likely because the initramfs doesn't have the right LVM configuration.
+
+## Solution: Direct 1-to-1 Clone
+
+Instead of converting to LVM, create an exact bit-perfect copy that preserves your original structure:
+
+### Key Advantages:
+✅ **Preserves original encryption** - LUKS works exactly as before  
+✅ **No LVM complexity** - Simple partition structure  
+✅ **Minimal boot changes** - Only UUID updates needed  
+✅ **Reliable boot process** - Same as your working internal drive  
+✅ **Emergency fallback** - Original internal drive unchanged  
+
+## Usage Instructions
+
+### Step 1: Create the Clone
+```bash
+# Run from live USB system
+sudo ./direct_clone_backup.sh
+```
+
+This script will:
+- Detect your internal and external drives
+- Create a bit-perfect clone (using dd)
+- Update UUIDs to prevent conflicts
+- Fix /etc/fstab with new UUIDs
+- Install/repair GRUB bootloader
+- Verify the clone integrity
+
+### Step 2: Verify Boot Readiness
+```bash
+# Verify the cloned drive will boot properly
+sudo ./verify_boot_readiness.sh
+```
+
+This script checks:
+- Partition structure integrity
+- Filesystem health
+- Essential boot files presence
+- GRUB configuration
+- Boot readiness tests
+
+### Step 3: Fix Issues (if needed)
+```bash
+# If verification fails, repair the clone
+sudo ./boot_repair_tools.sh
+```
+
+Available repair options:
+- Full repair (recommended)
+- GRUB repair only
+- /etc/fstab fix only
+- Initramfs regeneration
+- Boot configuration check
+
+## What This Solution Does Differently
+
+### ❌ LVM Migration (Complex, Failed)
+- Converts partition structure to LVM
+- Requires initramfs LVM module configuration
+- Changes boot process significantly
+- Multiple potential failure points
+- Complex recovery if something goes wrong
+
+### ✅ Direct Clone (Simple, Reliable)
+- Preserves exact original structure
+- No initramfs changes needed
+- Minimal boot process changes
+- Only UUID conflicts to resolve
+- Easy recovery with original drive
+
+## Boot Process Comparison
+
+### Original Failed LVM Boot:
+1. GRUB loads → 2. Initramfs loads → 3. **FAILS** (LVM modules/config issue) → Boot failure
+
+### New Direct Clone Boot:
+1. GRUB loads → 2. Initramfs loads → 3. **WORKS** (identical to original) → LUKS password → System boots
+
+## Expected Results
+
+After running the direct clone:
+1. **Boots like original** - Same encryption, same password prompt
+2. **No reset loops** - Stable boot process
+3. **Identical experience** - Everything works as before
+4. **Safe fallback** - Original internal drive unchanged
+
+## Emergency Recovery
+
+If something goes wrong:
+1. Boot from original internal drive (unchanged)
+2. Run `boot_repair_tools.sh` on external drive
+3. Or re-run `direct_clone_backup.sh` to start over
+
+## Key Files Created
+
+1. **`direct_clone_backup.sh`** - Main cloning script
+2. **`verify_boot_readiness.sh`** - Boot verification tool  
+3. **`boot_repair_tools.sh`** - Emergency repair toolkit
+
+This solution avoids all the complexity that caused the LVM migration to fail while giving you a working 1-to-1 copy that boots reliably.
