Hi,
I rent dedicated servers.
When I get a new server, the provider installs a fresh install of (let's say) Ubuntu 12, and then I do a bunch of configuration (install software with apt-get, add some shell scripts, and install custom software of my own).
How do I make a backup of this first server, so that I can then get a second server installed with a fresh Ubuntu, on which I could "apply" all the custom changes I made on the first server just by copying files over, but without overwriting whatever has to do with network configuration, computer name, etc.. of the new server ?
Tks.
