Hi all it's g7dnt Keith on nodes 2498 & 27333. I have used Ghost a disk clone tool to bit copy my Allstar node disk and the original 40gb disk was cloned on 10 minutes all tested and is now a backup of my system I have been asked to make a node replacement so can I; Clone my disk again and test as usual on my system then take the other Asterisk folder from the other Allstar node and over write my config. Then login and reset the root password to match the other persons node. At this point telephone the other node owner and get this node turned off. Once he has turned this node off then turn on the cloned node with that Allstar configuration folder at my location and test node 2259. Before I do the above I thought I would ask as the other node is 300 miles away and I am trying to help a node owner out in building a new node pc preconfigured that he could plug n go. Many thanks Keith G7DNT 2498 & 27333 Allstar 5503 IRLP and Echolink
