Summary

Creating partition image files of customized, optimized, and fine-tuned desktop and server partitions provides a quick and easy way of cloning those systems to new hardware. You can always clone partitions containing applications, such as /opt,/var,/usr, and /usr/local. (Your actual partition scheme is, of course, up to you.) If your new systems have the same devices as the system on which the image file was created, you can even easily copy preconfigured system partitions such as /boot and / itself. Either way, applications such as partimage can save you lots of time in configuring additional hardware by enabling you to reuse your existing customizations as many times as you want to.
