    I am new to Q4OS, but already very impressed with it.

    My PC is sort of middle-aged, and my partner's PC is even older and has win-doze with a bad case of winrot.

    I'm thinking that we will want to duplicate my system to that other one sometime soon.

    In my visits to various sites mentioned in getting Q4OS, I have run into a couple of tools that seem like they will do this for me when the time comes...

    My queries:
    - Has anyone here made use of either Systemback or Refracta ??

    • Is there a better or best way to accomplish this sort of 'cloning' ??

    I have made good use of Redo Backup for a couple of other distros I have used, but being a total newbie to Q4OS - I would like to know from more experienced folks what has worked best for them.

    Thanks.

    We are not an expert on the tools you mentioned. As Q4OS is Debian Jessie actually, you can safely follow procedures applicable to Debian Jessie.

    OK. I'll manage it.
    Right now I am doing what I want in testing & setting up Q4OS on my spare PC.
    I will then image & migrate it to my main desktop PC...somehow.
