Or what I am doing, login as root in the console (no user is logged in)
on the source machine
tar cJvf /tmp/your_user.tar.xz /home/your_user
on the target machine
scp your_user@source_machine:/tmp/your_user_trinity.tar.xz /tmp/
cd /
mv /home/your_user /home/your_user.orig
tar xJvf /tmp/your_user.tar.xz
