    摘要: System and method for generating modifiable representations of system hardware and software configurations and for transferring a system to another system using the configuration representations. A configuration representation may include a backup of a system's files. A configuration representation may be modified, and may be used to restore the system to hardware that may be different than the original system's hardware. In one embodiment, a configuration transfer mechanism is provided to perform the transfer of a configuration representation from a source system to a target system. One embodiment of a configuration transfer mechanism may use one or more servers coupled to the source and target systems via a network. Another embodiment of a configuration transfer mechanism may be used to restore a source system's configuration and files from a source system directly to a target system coupled to the source system without using servers.
