Hi all,

i'd like to make an exact copy of a server so that i can use it as a test bed to test updates etc. Is there a way i can mirror the setup exactly without having to go through the whole rigmarole of configuring everything over again.

What have people used?

I've used partition imaging apps. Back when I was doing OS/2 support at IBM, I used Partition Magic. I've since use Ghost and Copy Commander. There are a couple of Linux imaging apps, such as Partimage etc. Failing that, there's always dd and many backup programs will do a "bare metal" restore. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
