Hi All ,

I've been wondering how one can clone an entire gentoo system and copy it to another physical machine , while the original system is still running ( means , ghost , acronis and other tools that force me to shutdown the system are not acceptable )

So , someone told me to try just "tar" the whole system to the other machine and "untar" it there.

The question is how can I do that ? what are the correct attributes and flags ?

Or maybe someone have other ideas ?

Thanks

Benyamin
