You're welcome. I've been doing similar(ish) things for a while
now so it is nice to check out the "competition".

Sounds good, although the obvious comment is that there are
going to be things that you will need to change to make the
second system/copy fully functional.
Networking details being one obvious issue, although if the source
and the clone are both setup to use DHCP that might not be important.
Still hostname, SMTP hostname, etc might need to vary on a per-instance
basis.

Just something that jumped out. Piping without the temporary file,
or using mkstemp, or similar, function should be sufficient.
