I need to RSYNC 2 Servers (Same OS, Different Arch)

Hello Fellows,
Happy Day, I hope..

Dear all, I have this thing in hand..
I few months ago had a VPS which I spent days setting up what I need into it..
And I finally got it to work like a charm.. exactly like I need.

Alright, couple days ago.. I needed to take another one, and I went through that..

Now, I have 2 VPS.. Like below:

The Old VPS:

Code:

[root@mail /]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
[root@mail /]# uname -a
Linux mail.Old-Domain.com 2.6.24-24-xen #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 18:15:39 UTC 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The New VPS:

Code:

[root@mail /]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
[root@mail /]# uname -a
Linux mail.New-Domain.com 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5.028stab064.7 #1 SMP Wed Aug 26 15:47:17 MSD 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I used this command below to rsync the /home (Web Root), and was amazing..

Code:

rsync -avhe ssh /home/websites root@DIST.SERVER.IP:/home

What I'm wondering about now, is which are the directories I need to rsync so I get the exact same setup at the other side?

That's it in short.. and again.. hope you a sunny charm-full day.

Note: I posted this earlier in Servers, and was advised to post it here

Well, you will want /root folder also. And most likely ONLY SOME of the files.

But DO NOT RSYNC directly what ever you choose!!!!!

Your kernel is not the same (Old one is HARDLY CentOS with 2.6.24 kernel) and also the arch.

I would do it ONLY by hand, service by service, daemon by daemon. Any other way is putting your head in the bag.
