I don't have root rights on this machine. But I have two directories in which I can do basically everything, the original home (/home/name123) has only 1 GB space and the /local/name123 has 1 TB of space. I would like to move my $HOME variable permanently to the partition with 1 TB. Is it enough to just copy all config files to the new location and set $HOME to it or do I have to expect certain problems?

You could copy all directory content with:

cp -p -r /home/name123/* /local/name123/

-p to preserver permissions and -r to copy folders and everything inside them (recursevely) You need root permissions to set the new home directory for name123 user:

usermod -d /local/name123 name123
