You might want to do a "cp -pr" (to copy recursively,
along with the<br>
permissions) or an rsync (I think "-a" should do owners,
permissions,<br>
recursivity, timestamp copy, etc..).<br>
<br>
You can also use rsync to copy to a remote system, but you
can also<br>
use SystemImager to create a perfect copy of a hard drive
or partition<br>
and deploy it to one or many other locations (like Ghost).
However,<br>
since SystemImager is file-level and not byte-level, it
easily clones<br>
to hard-drives that aren't necessarily the same size. It
also does<br>
things like cloning the data and then changing the IP on
the remote<br>
system.<br>

can you please let me know how to install Systemimager &
clone the hdd<br>
as I am not to find the package from synaptic ?<br>
