Image copy (Clone)

Hi all,

I need to perform a physical copy of a DIGITAL(HP) Server machine:
is it possibe to do this in order to have an exact copy ( a clone to intend of)to another machine: including also the configuration files and the network configuration of the previous machine?.
Someone said me I can use dump tool, but I never use it:
could you explain me the full procedure step by step?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Another question:
Is it possible to perform a partial physical copy of a Server Digital machine?:
For example can I just copy the part of filesytsem that include the application a I need to backup on the pthet machine:
as ORACLE, SWS, APACHE, DSF etc, etc ..... .
Also in this case please send me all the procedure step by step.

Many many thanks in advance for your answer and help.

habe a nice day all.

Exactly what OS and version are you running? I can't tell from your post because of the different

info (Digital which made VMS and Ultrix and HP which bought out Digital but had their own UNIX HP-UX).

THe OS version is the following one:

  • TRU 64 5.1.A
