Yeah, unfortunately I suspect the Apple import-settings feature is designed
for the user experience, not the server end. So there might not be a good
way other than actually rebuilding from scratch and copying over config
files individually as needed. Not ideal, certainly, but I suppose at least
you'd have a clean server at the end of the process.

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.

If the server OS has the same "import your settings" stuff as the
workstation OS, that would be the way to go as it I believe it brings in
apps and their settings. 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.

from a PPC Mac to an Intel Mac? It would be a quicker configuration if I
can. Thanks.
