Sync up identical machines

kenny_dilger · 07-09-2004, 02:15 PM

Hello,

I have a development machine at work that I have setup and like the way I have it. I have another identical machine which I would basically like to rsync so that its partitioned and has the exact file/structure as my current machine.

Currently it has the same partition layout, is there a good way to go about this?

Thanks,
Kenny

The one thing that would make it a bit difficult
(if you're looking at syncing EVERYTHING) is
that they'd try to get a hold of the same IP address.
Other than that there should be no problems, and
the aforementioned problem you can probably work
around by running the synchronisation from a live-cd
distro :) and using a fixed (different) IP.

Cheers,
