Re: Duplicating Debian Installations?
$ umask 000 # not sure if it is nessesary
$ (cd /; tar -clpf - .) | ( cd /<destination> ; tar -xpkf - )
$ umask 022
This is from the Tips-HOWTO, there is one other method in that doc but
never used it.
With the method shown above you might get some complains about not being
able to copy some /dev devices (or was it just some named pipes).
I always ignore those errors, and everything works just fine.
Of course...
Once you transfer, remember about: rdev, /etc/fstab, etc..
