Re: Bootable clone of OSX Server Tiger

I've used rsync 3.0.x for online backups with great success, even did a bare metal restore of one of our Leopard servers.

$ /path/to/latest/rsync -avxXAHN / /Volumes/NewDrive

You might want to do run rsync a second time with --delete to get any last minute changes. The second run will be a lot quicker.

What's the best way to go about it?
I need to clone to a firewire drive the Boot disk of a G5 Xserve, running 10.4 Server.
Can I do the cloning with the system running ?
The server is actually in Europe, where I have somebody able to plug the firewire disk and not much more...
So I'm trying to get a working clone of the main drive, just in case.
Will Superduper work?
Any tips are very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Federico
