Here's to hoping this works! dd is really no rocket science you only need to make sure what is source and what is destination after plug a external hard disk "dmesg" make clear in it's last entries what is the enw device dd if=/dev/sd<source> of=/dev/sd<target> bs=16M and wait................. there is no progress visible! ___________________________ given you boot both machines from a live-cd and configure sshd for key-authentication which takes a little google and 5 minutes i was able to clone a complete PC with 4 x 2 TB disks having 3 linux software-raids (RAID1 for /boot, RAID10 for / and RAID10 for /data eith a 4-liner it took only few hours and all i had to do was reconfigure the network on the new machine - giving you have a quad-core cpu and configure ssh for compression this is dmaned effective because the empty parts are compressed well and you have one cpu-core for compress/encrpt a disk dd if=/dev/sda | ssh root@192.168.196.129 "dd of=/dev/sda bs=16M" & dd if=/dev/sdb | ssh root@192.168.196.129 "dd of=/dev/sdb bs=16M" & dd if=/dev/sdc | ssh root@192.168.196.129 "dd of=/dev/sdc bs=16M" & dd if=/dev/sdd | ssh root@192.168.196.129 "dd of=/dev/sdd bs=16M" & these days i would use 'ssh -c "arcfour128"'which results in around 100 MB/second by "cheaper" encryption which i also use these days for rsync-backups in 100% secure networks
