Best way to clone a installation

Hi

I installed and configured arch on an older machine and now would like to clone the installation (mostly because all the mail settings, etc) to a different machine... my plan was to install the basic installtion from a live cd and then copy all files from the old / .
I know there are certain files than are machine specifiic eg. /etc/fstab, the extlinux loader file etc...
so I tried to copy everything but these machine specific files, but that ruined the installation so I guess I am doing something wrong. Is there an easier way to clone the setup or did I just miss a specific file?

Does anyone have experience in this issue?

regards,
keen

Re: Best way to clone a installation

Take a look at create-restore.tar.gz, there are some scripts in there that might be a base for what you want to do.

Re: Best way to clone a installation

I simply used "cp -a" to copy everything. Then fix what needs to be fixed, install new drivers, remove old ones... Worked for me.

Re: Best way to clone a installation

I was a bit unspecific. What I tried so far was to copy:
bin home opt root run sbin srv usr var
to the new /
then I continued with:
boot etc lib
I got trouble. System would not boot (I did use the right bootloader file)
on this thread there is a similar discussion:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=87476

Is this list for the machine dependent files mentioned there complete?
- /etc/fstab
- /boot/grub/menu.lst / ok in my case syslinux.conf
- /etc/rc.conf
- /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- /etc/hosts

I tried replacing the files while the arch system I copied the files to was running. Might that be a problem? I could also do this when booted from a live cd otherwise.

Re: Best way to clone a installation

To get it running, all you have to do is copy the entire system as is, update fstab and menu.lst, and recreate your initial ramdisk with mkinitcpio. That should get you to a bootable system and you can work your way from there (sound, video, network...).

Oh, don't forget to install grub.

Re: Best way to clone a installation

Ok thanks for the hints...

I have a bootable system now.

But I am having two problems.

1. I can login as my standard user, but it does not find the homedir, so I end up at /. Which is strange since when I log in as root, /home is mounted and my homedir is there in all of its beauty. Anyway the scripts/programs in my home dir are not recognized, so he really does not find my homedir...

2. I have serious problems setting up the X environment. I used

#Xorg -configure

to generate a config file. I can launch the X server using this file, but this results in a frozen system and I get a funny screen. Mostly black, some coloured lines and some fragments that look a bit like a part of the arch logo.
I tried:

#startx --probe-only

but that gave me the same result
then I tried to log in on a diffrent TTY in advace using

# sleep 30
# pkill -9 X

and then launched X on the first TTY but that did not help me either to get some information about whats going wrong. It there an aesy way the get a log file?

Should I open a new thread for this?

Re: Best way to clone a installation

I don't know that it's the "best" way, but I've used G4L to copy/move Arch between a few machines.  We have a very restrictive proxy at work that makes new installs painful, so I just keep using an existing machine as a base to copy from. 
I've done it from desktop to desktop, desktop to laptop, laptop to laptop, and laptop to virtual.  After cloning I've used System rescue CD to update fstab and any other files, and partimage to resize partitions when necessary. 

On first boot from the cloned HD I chose the Arch fallback image, immediately run mkinitcpio and have never had a problem.

Re: Best way to clone a installation

For the user issue, does it goes in normally if you use a new login? If so, backup your home files, delete your user, remake it and put your backup up... (did you copy even .* files?)
As for the log files, Xorg leaves them in /var/log as Xorg.0.log and should be pretty human readable.

Re: Best way to clone a installation

The user issue is fine now.
I used an external hard drive to copy my old installations data and did not use

cp -ar

so the permissions were missing. I fixed that.

I'll post my /var/log messages in a couple of minutes.

One more thing. I am a bit worried about the system I tried a pacman update und had these messages:

Re: Best way to clone a installation

Moved the Xserver problem to

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 12#p986612

since I was not related to the headline any more

Re: Best way to clone a installation

I admit the Xorg issue does not belong here, so I'll put that into a new thread. (Already moved)

Whereas I think the pacman problem is a consequence of copying the hard drive. Should I force pacman?
I've seen the sticky post in the forum about this error message, but I don't not what exactly caused this error messages.

Re: Best way to clone a installation

I immediately thought of CloneZilla http://clonezilla.org/ which is specifically designed to backup, restore, clone etc. I haven't used it myself but it is very highly rated so I've read in Linux Format etc.

Re: Best way to clone a installation

I still have problems using the
cp -a
method.

Say I have a installation on disk A. And I want to clone this installation to disk B.
What I did is:
Use live CD to install arch on B.
Backup /etc/rc.conf, /etc/host, /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg, /etc/fstab
copy all data from A/boot A/home A/bin A/etc A/lib A/opt A/root A/sbin A/usr to B
restore the 4 backed up files on B

When I then try to boot from B I get the message:
"Waiting 10 seconds for /dev/disk/by-uuid/THE_UUID_IS_HERE"

Then it times out and I end in some kind of minimal emergency bash

I checked the UUID. It's fine, the device is there. The UUID points to B's third partition
I tried to point to the device directly (/dev/sda3). But the same timeout occurs.

So I suppose I copy a file to much. Which one might that be?

Oh and by the way I do NOT use grub but the extlinux aka syslinux bootloader

Re: Best way to clone a installation

I suggest taking a look at rsnapshot, especially since we are on a rolling-release distro. rsnapshot allows automatic backup and is very configurable; it uses rsync to make the backup, and rsync itself is an incremental backup option- you dont have to redo all 7GB of your / everytime you backup, but instead rsync will only change what has been changed. This is good for something like Arch where everyday youre getting at least a few updates- rsnapshot makes backing up such small changes a breeze.

It is also quite easy to use rsnapshot for backups over a lan (to a data server), ssh, etc. I actually found out about it asking in the #archlinux freenode irc channel..

Good luck..

Re: Best way to clone a installation

I used mirrordir (on crux linux), but I'm confident rsync is a splendid tool, too. But I cannot use any mirror utilities as long as I dont know exactly which files to mirror (and especially which not) so if anyone knows what I am doing wrong, please tell me.

Thanks in advance

Re: Best way to clone a installation

rsync -avxHAXS --delete --progress / /new-root

never failed me , i actually take this from best wiki ever!
I have done this method several times, just one quick note !!! -for "x" option

Note that by using the -x option you are limiting rsync to a single file system. If you have a more traditional file system layout, with different partitions for /boot, /home, and perhaps others, you will need to rsync those file systems separately. For example:

[root@arch ~]# rsync -avxHAXS --delete --progress /boot /mnt/new-raid/boot
[root@arch ~]# rsync -avxHAXS --delete --progress /home /mnt/new-raid/home

quote is from wiki also

Re: Best way to clone a installation

For now I know the mysterious file is located in /boot, since my clone starts up when I copy:
/bin /etc /lib /opt /root /sbin /usr and ignore /boot

Whereas I still get the pacman errors (for many many files):
