[tlug] Sbackup Question

[CL <az.4tlug@example.com>]

I am intending to play musical HDDs later today and have a question 
about Sbackup.  I have a large HDD that is seriously underutilized in 
the machine it is in, but have a smaller HDD that could replace it, 
freeing it for other duties there are two more PCs involved in the 
switch, but we need not discuss them.  The smaller HDD is large enough 
for its intended duties on that box.

The current HDD has Kubuntu 8.04-i386 (Horny Hamster) installed on it 
and the HDD I replace it with will have the same.  The current 8.04 
install works as advertised and is 100% rock solid.

What I would like to do is install the basic OS and then do a restore of 
the current installation on the smaller HDD so that, when the machine is 
turned back on, it will be as if nothing had changed.

According to the Sbackup tutorial, the program will automatically back 
up and restore:

/etc
/home
/usr
/var

Are these *all* of the directories that are modified when programs are 
added to Kubuntu?  My first inclination is to copy the entire disk to 
DVD, but it _appears_ as though that is unnecessary (famous last words).

Also, does anyone know if Sbackup can be used to strip XP off a physical 
HDD and restore it to a VirtualBox?
