True cloning is done with sectors only, and knows nothing about filesystems. e.g. if you use dd to clone the whole hard disk, then dd just copies all sectors from one disk to the other exactly. If you are unsure, just try it, then shutdown, substitute the clone for the original, and try boot and see if you can tell if anything has changed. It shouldn't have.
I do most of my cloning using a shareware partitioning program called DFSee,
I use tar, but I'm in a Linux-only environment. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
