If the existing vault was made with dirvish, you could do something like: /usr/local/sbin/dirvish --init --vault root --reference <old> --branch <new> ... using the branch capability of dirvish. This will maintain the two branches in one vault. I use this when two or more machines are the same distro and fairly similar. This saves space in the beginning, though the vaults will get a lot larger in the future, after the distros are upgraded and each branch gets it's own copies of the upgraded files. If you are not starting with a dirvish image, you will have to get more creative, perhaps by faking the image metadata using a text editor, based on an existing example. The files are not too complicated. If you figure that out, let us know.
