[sllug-members]: Re: Backup/restore/mirror question

[Steve Hildebrand]

I am going to be getting a WD 2.5" portable HD for data storage, and in the near future I will be upgrading the old AMD7 Linux box to something that isn't carved from stone.  If I make a full backup of root, run a basic install of Kubuntu on the new system to get it up and running, would I be able to lay the old system down on top of that?  I would expect a video tweak, maybe some hardware shuffling.  Of course, the new board will have SATA drives, am I right in not expecting that to be a problem?

I would rather not mess with a network level solution, if at all possible, but I can do that if that is the best or only low-hassle solution.
