Clone ES4 machine

[Shelton, Darren]

I generally use compaq/hp hardware and their hardware raid controllers, and
clone our machines by pulling a drive from our root mirror and booting our
development machine from the pulled drive.



I have also used ghost. The only caveat with ghost is you can use anything
other than ext filesystems. I am using reiser on most of my machines and
thus have stopped using ghost for the most part.

I have used mkcdrec for this purpose. Depending on how much data is
in the machine, you can also use it to make a boot/rescue/restore DVD.
