Is the destination box at the image of the source (HW... most important is filesystem layout)? about users config the important files will be in /etc (passwd, shadow, group etc...), if you can easily recopy (why not with rsync...) /export/home the application part will be more tricky what kind of application is it? will you keep the same structure? meaning more : will you reinstall the apps? if so keeping the same structure (filesystem layout) or will you be taking this opportunity to do something better?( you should know what wasnt top in the source server you can correct now...)

xfs_mdrestore
xfs_mdrestore(8) System Manager's Manual xfs_mdrestore(8)
NAME
xfs_mdrestore - restores an XFS metadump image to a filesystem image
SYNOPSIS
xfs_mdrestore [ -g ] source target
xfs_mdrestore -V
DESCRIPTION
xfs_mdrestore is a debugging tool that restores a metadata image generated by xfs_metadump(8) to a filesystem. The source argument speci-
fies the location of the metadump image and the target argument specifies the destination for the filesystem image. If the source is -,
then the metadata image is read from stdin. This allows the output of be another program such as a compression application to be redirected
to xfs_mdrestore. The target can be either a file or a device.
xfs_mdrestore should not be used to restore metadata onto an existing filesystem unless you are completely certain the target can be
destroyed.
OPTIONS
-g Shows restore progress on stdout.
-V Prints the version number and exits.
DIAGNOSTICS
xfs_mdrestore returns an exit code of 0 if all the metadata is successfully restored or 1 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
xfs_metadump(8), xfs_repair(8), xfs_check(8), xfs(5)
