Does rysnc works for this?



Dear all,

I am going to plan to make a backup with a old server.
Previously, my guys told me that when using dd for clone like command
to make the clone results in hard disk corruption.
I am planning to work like this:

On the new machine:
1. Boot from live cd for else that supports networking.
2. Mount the local hard drive and format as ext3 (label: /)
3. rysnc the old machine root (/) to the new one.

Two machine hardware configuration is identicial, I would like to ask,
does it work?
.
