Rsync is a simple way to copy a complete system. The procedure goes
something like this:
+ Boot a rescue image that contains a recent rsync binary
+ Partition your disk(s)
+ Create the filesystems and mount them in a directory structure that
has sufficient filesystem space (or optionally mimics the original
system)
+ Rsync the original system onto your new filesystem structure
The tools you would use are resp. fdisk, mkfs (or mfks.ext3), mount, mkdir
and rsync.
