[Dxspider-support] Cloning node to new machine - guidance needed

[Dirk Koopman]

Yes, and actually add a z to rsync -av (i.e. rsync -avz) might speed it up.

The only things that can potentially be a problem are the DB_File based 
stuff like the users and dxqsl files. DB_File seems to be very reliable 
- and cross platform - these days, but if something happens everything 
can be regenerated from user_json etc.
