[LIH] Newbie Query: Scripting Mirroring & Restore of Linux Server...

[Sanjay Arora]

Hi All,

I a newbie in Linux. I always trash my system when I am tinkering my system
& always have to start the system configuration from scratch and not from
the point of failure.

I would like to add a second HDD with a copy of Linux on it. I would like
to have a script that would make a copy a given disk to the other, and I
mean system configurations & all.

This way I could restore Linux system to its previous state without having
to reinstall Linux.

Request pointers to How-Tos & other resources in addition to your comments
on how to go about it & pitfalls, if any.

Also, how to adapt this idea to mirroring to another server on the network
& restoring from it?

Thaths.

Sanjay.
