I am using RemasterSys to create backups of my OS. I noticed that when using the Backup option, when restoring from 1 machine to another, my resolution wasn't optimal ... Idealy, I will also like user/passwords to be different ... I believe there are other things that might need to be changed manually like driver config etc?
What do I need to consider and do to fix them when restoring a backup from 1 machine to another (with different hardware)?
Would using the TAR method have a similar problem with different hardware? Like GPU's or even CPU being different, like backup from desktop restored to laptop? Main Purpose: Sync Apps
If your main purpose is syncing apps, then just move your home dir and export/import the list of installed packages.
oldmachine$ dpkg --get-selections > list-of-installed-packages
newmachine$ dpkg --set-selections < list-of-installed-packages && apt-get -u dselect-upgrade
