Debian replace (almost) all /etc to replicate machine
I need to replicate the functionality of one machine on another (stretch), but I cannot copy the image or duplicate the disk. But I have root access.
All the software was already copied (/opt, /usr/local/, apt-clone) and that's fine. But my problems come from the /etc directory.
I think my solution if to replace the whole /etc. Of course, I assume I should exclude /etc/fstab, /etc/crypttab.
Could this approach work? What other files should I take care of?
