I guess it is very common for administrative purpose, to dump and restore a CentOS 7 system.
Though I can not answer OP's question, I have question of my own.
Is this really routine (often) task for Linux sysadmins? I used something like that to replicate cluster nodes in the past, but kickstart would be routine task for me. dump/restore sounds like routine from MS Windows world (I hear they "re-image" system if something goes wrong ;-)
Am I wrong? Do we in Linux world do this routinely?
I usually use dump/restore commands. However, Im having trouble to handle installing bootloader and creating initramfs for C7 system. Does anyone know a good document source that details those procedure? Thank you,
I have never used dump/restore.
Someone mentioned commercial software - I've cloned systems, esp. compute nodes in a cluster - with rsync.
