A duplicate Promox server

[wg0f]

If I purchase an identical Dell Server to what I have, how can I make an exact copy of the current raid in my first server.
I have tried many software “cloning” programs with just external drives and networked drives but not successful with them.
I really want to make a total server as my backup for my current server.
Thanks,
Michael

I've done such things always with clonezilla: https://clonezilla.org/

Can you give me any step by step?
I tried to use clonezilla with a 4 TB usb drive attatched to the server, it wouldn’t backup to it, I tried it with. 4 TB Buffalo networked drive and it wouldn’t talk to that either.
Thanks for responding.

You can use USB, or such NFS/CIFS share in the network. Follow the Clonezilla Assistent, everything is described. You must choose, i think it was local device target or something like that.
