#2 Re: Cloning a Debian Etch system for redundency Posted by dldirector (69.17.xx.xx) on Mon 21 Jan 2008 at 17:01 Sorry for the lack of clarity. I have a clarification and a correction. In the article I said, that my system is on only one partition. In fact, there is a separate boot partition. Here is a sample shell script that can be used to copy the root partition, boot partition, and the /dev items. SERVER=root@[production.server.com] OPTS=" --recursive --times --perms --owner --group \ --links --hard-links \ --one-file-system --delete \ --stats --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh" # copy system image to partition mounted on /mnt/sysimage FROMDIR=/ TODIR=/mnt/sysimage rsync $OPTS $SERVER:$FROMDIR $TODIR # copy boot image to partition mounted on /mnt/bootimage FROMDIR=/boot/ TODIR=/mnt/bootimage rsync $OPTS $SERVER:$FROMDIR $TODIR # copy the disk image version of /dev FROMDIR=/dev/.static/dev/ TODIR=/mnt/sysimage/dev rsync $OPTS $SERVER:$FROMDIR $TODIR Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment.
