is there a possible to clone one server to other server?

Question

I have a server running with Debian 10 . Some process are running in it. I want to have all the same software operating system/application to be installed in another server. Is there any way just to clone one server to another. The servers are remote .

For reinstalling the same operating system and the application it will require many hours. I wondered if this can be solved with just cloning the server.

I'm searching for the same, [this rsync command](https://gist.github.com/sibsfinx/dde1877ab60c185882cd) may do the job... — brasofilo, May 04 '23 at 01:19

You can use CloneZilla (https://clonezilla.org/ , free software) to duplicate server. Moreover, it allows to run a lightweight PXE server and TFTP to duplicate up to 253 copies simultaneously. It doesn't limited to Linux, clones many OSes/filesystems.

There's an extensive set of docs on their site, along with examples: https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-usage/clonezilla-live-usage.php – Oleg Kirillov Oct 20 '20 at 21:06
CloneZilla requires **physical** access to the server, and OP clearly doesn't have it... – brasofilo May 04 '23 at 01:18
Yup, Q says "all servers are remote", docs say: "Online imaging/cloning is not implemented yet. The partition to be imaged or cloned has to be unmounted. " – mirekphd Sep 02 '23 at 08:02
