Easily replicate/clone your Linux install

Re:Easily replicate/clone your Linux install by qalmakka on Thursday August 20, 2020 @05:04AM (#24221330)

I haven't reinstalled Linux in years; usually, if I want to migrate my install somewhere else I use one of the following approaches:

- `rsync -qaHAXS src dest` - `btrfs/zfs send/recv`

Lately I standardized around ZFS, so I've moved several times my install using send and receive (even using SSH) and it's beautiful.

This sounds worthy of a gist, or blog entry. Share, please!

I use btrfs send and receive. Works wonderfully! There's a tool called snap-sync for Arch Linux which makes it seamless.
