Hi,
First, I will preface this with; I am not very familiar with FreeBSD. One of the hard drives has failed in our server, which is getting older and needs to be replaced. It is hosting a website using apache and has software/data that uses mysql, and is very crucial to the business. I am not sure how it is installed, or what is all needed to just set it up/configure a new server.
I am wondering if there is a way to take an image of the current FreeBSD OS on the server (while it is running), and restore it to a new server so I don't have to worry about reinstalling software and trying to get it configured correctly.
Thanks!
