#7 Re: Backing Up/Restoring Package Information? Posted by Anonymous (83.161.xx.xx) on Sun 30 Oct 2005 at 21:43 Mysql works fine BUT: during the final sync, you should stop all services. You cannot do this hotcloning with mysql running. Same for postgresql, samba, nfs or any other service that might change files. During the final sync any process that changes critical files should be stopped. There might be one reason why this could not work: if you switch to hardware of a different platform. If you go from 32bit to 64bit, don't count on hotcloning, but I suppose that is obvious because you need other debian packages in such a setup as well. (note: if you go to a 64 bit amd64 machine, but you run it in 32bit compatibility mode the method will work fine, but not if you go to native 64bit) regards, Olivier Sessink
