This environment will have two identical / separate systems referred to as “System A” and “System B” - I want to install FreeBSD on to “System A” - Once that installation is complete with selected ports and custom applications, I want to make an exact duplicate of “System A” on “System B” I don’t want to do this with drives in the same system, rather I would like to “clone” “System A” Also, it would be nice to be able to do this as a “mirroring” solution to keep a clone over time of the system in the case of failure of either “System A” or “System B” Is this possible to do? If so, any direction on how I would do this would be welcome. Is there a port / application that enables this? Thank you in advance! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
