2. The example scenario.To explain how to clone a linux box into another we try to use a supposed scenario with two computer: a source computer and a destination computer where we try to duplicate the first one. To complicate the scenario we supposed that the source Linux box is installed together with another system operating while the destination box is configured with an empty hard disk that we wish to complete dedicate to backup the only Linux box so the source and destination partition table will be different. Moreover we required not to shutdown or make offline the source computer so that it continues to offer its remote services. 2.1. The source computerSource computer have one IDE hard disk and a network card. It's a RedHat distribution with grub boot loader and is running a lot of network services. Linux is installed on /dev/hda6 partition while /dev/hda7 is used like a swap linux partition. The boot loader have another menu' item to bootstrap a different operating system installed on /dev/hda1. 2.2. The destination computerDestination computer have one empty IDE hard disk and a network card. | |||
