All, Does anyone have a good handle on how to replicate (read: image) a freebsd machine from one machine to an ostensibly similar machine? So far I've used countless variations and combinations of the following: dd (Slow, not usefull if the hardware isn't identical?) tar (Doesn't replicate MBR) rsync (No MBR support) Norton Ghost (Doesn't support UFS/UFS2?) G4U (little experience with this) Now whether my details are a bit off, that's fine, I don't want this to be diluted in to discussion of minute frivolous details (as these things are wont to do), but what I _am_ looking for is a tried, tested and true method of FreeBSD machine replication, specifically for the 5.3+ releases. Many thanks, -E-
