The best and traditional way that has been there for decades is an rsync and then reinstallation of boot-loader. It works always if you know how it's done.
The problem I found with rsync is that it is very slow when there are a lot of small files. Any idea how this can be improved on or is that a fundamental limit?
I do dump/restores fir this sort of thing.
Depends on if you want everything, and of course, if there's a hardware difference, you need to chroot (assuming you rsync'd to special directories, like /new and /boot/new), and do some mounts and chroot, and rebuild the initrd.img
