Clone an installation

I'd like to clone an installation. Not a domain, but the entire install with ALL installed programs and updates, settings, etc. I am a LAMP neophyte so need a tad bit of help.

Howdy -- it can actually be somewhat tricky to make an exact clone.

What we usually recommend is to perform a new install of your distribution, install Virtualmin, and then copy over a set of Virtualmin backups, and import those.

From there, any additional settings you need copied, you could then copy the appropriate config file in /etc.

Documentation for that procedure is here:

Would that do what you're after?
