Sorry, I know this has been covered before, but I cannot seem to make it function. I don't know if it is because I can't find directions for 10.04, or something else.

I am trying to clone a server installation, so I can migrate from one machine to another, eventually ending up on a VM. I have tried at least 4 or 5 different methods, including tar'ing everything, and even tried mondo. Does anyone know of a good way to clone / migrate a full server installation of Ubuntu?

Thanks in advance!

In the past we have used Clonezilla with a lot of success.
