Idea #11744: Instant Network Computer duplication.

Written by crhylove the 2 Aug 08 at 12:41. Related project: Wubi Windows installer. Status: New
Rationale
I would like the Ubuntu install to search my local network for other machines on the network, and for the ones where I currently have admin rights, allow me to duplicate that entire machine as a VM on my current machine. I would also like this option for partitions on the current machine.

OK, maybe not have this an option on INSTALL, but as a quick shortcut somewhere for advanced users. Think about instantly backing up an old laptop as a VM, and then being able to completely format the laptop (quickly and easily), and backing up just the files you still need on it?
