Re-Build a Debian based machine
Things to do if you need to re-build a Debian based machine, assuming the older one can still be logged into.
# As root, on the old machine, get there how you will... apt install debsums mount <BackupsLocation> /mnt # Get a list of changed files in /etc find /etc -type f | grep -vFf <(debsums -e | grep OK$ | sed 's/[[:space:]]*OK$//') > /mnt/FileList.txt # Copy those files over rsync -avz --files-from=/mnt/FileList.txt /mnt/
