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...)

dumpe2fs
DUMPE2FS(8) System Manager's Manual DUMPE2FS(8)
NAME
dumpe2fs - dump filesystem information
SYNOPSIS
dumpe2fs [ -bfhixV ] [ -ob superblock ] [ -oB blocksize ] device
DESCRIPTION
dumpe2fs prints the super block and blocks group information for the filesystem present on device.
dumpe2fs is similar to Berkeley's dumpfs program for the BSD Fast File System.
OPTIONS
-b print the blocks which are reserved as bad in the filesystem.
-ob superblock
use the block superblock when examining the filesystem. This option is not usually needed except by a filesystem wizard who is
examining the remains of a very badly corupted filesystem.
-oB blocksize
use blocks of blocksize bytes when examining the filesystem. This option is not usually needed except by a filesystem wizard who is
examining the remains of a very badly corupted filesystem.
-f force dumpe2fs to display a filesystem even though it may have some filesystem feature flags which dumpe2fs may not understand (and
which can cause some of dumpe2fs's display to be suspect).
-h only display the superblock information and not any of the block group descriptor detail information.
-i display the filesystem data from an image file created by e2image, using device as the pathname to the image file.
-x print the detailed group information block numbers in hexadecimal format
-V print the version number of dumpe2fs and exit.
BUGS
You need to know the physical filesystem structure to understand the output.
