I am upgrading Hard Drives and have faile at every attempt to use the R1soft restore so option down to putting in new drive with a fresh OS reload.
My question is whatis the best method to restore everything from my current 80GB drive. Server is running cpanel. I know I would not want /dev and /proc from the old drive.

How would you restore using the origional primary drive as the secondary drive? the new srive is 250 vs
the
80 for the old drive and the partition sizes will all be larger.

Check this thread: http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=35046&highlight=clone+server&page=2

You may have taken your script from that thread - I just think the whole thread is useful.

yes I did take it from there.
My situation is a little different, I am going to move from a 80GB to a 250GB drive and want to copy everything within the same server.
