root 72f9838f55 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)

=== LVM MIGRATION OPTIONS ===
You now have TWO migration options on this USB stick:
OPTION 1: IMPROVED LVM MIGRATION (Recommended)
File: improved_lvm_migration.sh
- Fixes the boot issues from the previous failed attempt
- Properly configures initramfs with LVM modules
- Better GRUB configuration for LVM
- Handles LUKS + LVM combination correctly
- More robust error handling
OPTION 2: SIMPLE 1-TO-1 CLONE (Fallback)
File: direct_clone_backup.sh
- Creates exact copy without LVM conversion
- Use if LVM migration still has issues
=== WHAT WAS WRONG WITH PREVIOUS LVM MIGRATION ===
The original migrate_to_lvm.sh failed because:
❌ Initramfs missing LVM modules
❌ Poor GRUB LVM configuration
❌ LUKS + LVM combination issues
❌ Insufficient boot verification
=== IMPROVEMENTS IN NEW LVM SCRIPT ===
✅ Proper initramfs LVM module inclusion
✅ Correct GRUB configuration for LVM
✅ Better LUKS + LVM handling
✅ Boot configuration verification
✅ More robust error recovery
=== USAGE INSTRUCTIONS ===
1. Boot from this USB stick (Debian Live)
2. For LVM migration (recommended):
sudo ./improved_lvm_migration.sh
3. For simple clone (if LVM fails):
sudo ./direct_clone_backup.sh
4. Verify boot readiness:
sudo ./verify_boot_readiness.sh
5. If needed, repair issues:
sudo ./boot_repair_tools.sh
=== EXPECTED RESULTS WITH IMPROVED LVM ===
✅ Boots properly asking for LUKS password
✅ No reset loops or boot failures
✅ Full LVM functionality (snapshots, resizing)
✅ Proper initramfs with LVM support
✅ Working GRUB configuration
The improved script addresses all the issues that caused
the boot failure shown in your screenshot.
