Supposedly: http://relax-and-recover.org/
supports a GPL Linux bare metal disaster recovery solution that is purported to be easy to set up and requires no maintenance.
Does anyone have experience with this application? Does it perform as is claimed? Is it truly bare metal: if one provides compatible hardware after a "bare metal" failure, will this system "automagically" provide a fully operational clone? (Compatible hardware means a system for which the drivers exist in and are automatically loaded and configured by the environment being "bare metal recovered", even if the new "bare metal" is a different hardware configuration than the failed unit. Thus, an IA-32 environment should boot on many generic X86-64 platforms, but a pure X86-64 implementation cannot run on a true IA-32 machine -- the IA-32 machine is not compatible hardware in the latter situation.)
Thanks for any information. Yasha Karant
