The last company I worked for (and who laid me off 3 months ago....I can't believe I'm giving them a free advertisement), has a product that takes an image of the entire disk (or disks, or SAN LUN). That includes EVERYTHING - ALL files, applications, etc. You can then restore that image onto similar or dissimilar hardware (or to a VM), change specifics (host name, IP's, etc.), boot, and go. Very very cool product.<br>
The reason I mention that is that you may want to search a free util that does that or part of that.<br><font color="#888888"><br clear="all">-- Asher <br></font><div><div></div><div class="h5">

Big mess is evolution mail files have changed formats a few times.<br>
