I always prefer dump(8) and restore(8) via nc(1). All those
programs are available from a CentOS boot cd. But be aware
that this makes a full clone with all the possible crap and
leftovers which might be hanging around on your system.
So I tend to do an appropriate install of the new machine,
and selectively copy configuration files and the data I
know I want and install the packages I need. Yes, it's a bit
more work than just cloning, but also a good opportunity to
get rid of old ballast.
Frank.
