You can probably do that. With *identical* hardware, and make sure you
take _all_ non volatile storage with you.

Given identical hardware, you may also abuse suspend.sf.net
fucntionality to migrate images over network.

Oh and suspend to USB disk _should_ work today; its just very bad idea
if you modify something on that disk or so...
