Re: Help! i want to clone my Centos machine to another box..

Acronis, with a little SALT and PEPPER may do the trick.

However after running acronis you would have to do an OS Repair.

Sorry, that is for windows.

CentOS on the other hand should be able to CLUSTER.

Why not try to cluster it instead

roland,

 

what i recently did was use this info and modified the backup-servers script slightly

 

http://www.jms1.net/code/rsync-backup.shtml

 

it was really simple to move a live centos4 from one machine to another after admin down services that would allow data to change on the final rsync pass.

 

one machine was an older compaq DL380 and the new machine was a HP DL360

 

basically i did a centos 4 load on the new machine and paid careful attention to what needs to be excluded as well as changed before and afterwards

 

things like  /etc/modprobe.conf

 

then change ips and reboot.

 

the having two servers side by side thing is a different set of circumstances and setup...

 

we just cloned one to the other and took the original machine offline.

 

if you have a lot of linux experience and cannot figure out the step by step, post what you did to "try" and accomplish it and then we can help more later

 

please be specific in your postings
