RE: Moving Debian to a new PC

[Justin Hahn]

Umm.. If the 2 machines share identical user databases NFS is just fine for this. However, if you're looking for a tar-based or other way to do this, I'd recommend one of the following: (both REQUIRE ssh with root logins allowed for your permissions requirements)   1) rsync over ssh. Make sure you've got ssh installed, then do:   rsync -ave ssh /local/dir/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/remote/dir   NOTE the use of slashes above.   2) tar over ssh:   tar cCf /local/dir - . | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] tar xCvf /remote/dir -   --jeh -----Original Message----- From: Raffaele Sandrini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 2:41 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Moving Debian to a new PC Hi,   I have bought me a new computer.   I i'm womndering how i can manage it to get ALL of the data from my Linux partition to the new system WITHOUT LOOSING ANY PERMISSION AND FILE DATA. I must be over the LAN. I can't change HDDs. I think that NFS is not good for that... due permission problems. is it possible to generate a "tar pipe" over thet net or something?   cheers, Raffaele
