FB cloning?

[Tim Lee]

Is it possible to "clone" a FB Plus - by saving the config from one
device then restoring it to another Plus.
If so, can this mechanism be used to setup - "hot spare"?

You can copy a config from one to another plus no problem. You can even
copy from a plus or soho to a firebrick 105 (subject to features needed
being installed).

I will use this method to clone a brick, thus providing hot swap backup
in the event of either h/w failure (surely this never happens) or s/w
failure (someone has mucked up the config)
Presumably the brick name will copy across but the serial # wont?
