Hi Tony (and everyone else who replied), I had posted the same question to the SchooIT list as well. Everyone felt it was a bad idea. I had suspected that cloning PPC to Intel wouldn't work. I definitely knew it wouldn't work with Linux. The question in my mind was if everything in Mac OS and the bundled apps was a fat binary. If so, having the server be identical when swappjng out made sense and a clone should work. I am aware of rsync and many of the other tools people mentioned as well as Apples feature of importing settings from another computer. I am not sure if it would import config files for server services so I think I will use rsync to get the config files for server applications and their associated data.

You cannot just image a PPC OS to an Intel. I don't believe it would have the dual-mode (fat) binaries for the drivers and base OS, and honestly you wouldn't want it to for storage/efficiency reasons. --On Wednesday, May 20, 2009 02:57:46 PM -0400 Dave Tisdell <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > > I am planning to replace an xserver for a client.
