Cloning is the practice of cloning an exact copy of an existing Live Linux server using the rsync command-line tool. Cloning requires 2 instances of servers – the server to be cloned and the destination server where the cloning process will occur. The rsync command-line tool synchronizes all the files and directories from the server being cloned to the destination server.
