Hi James,

With ezjail the easiest way to take a copy of a jail and move it to another
host is with the build in archive/restore process.

Old server:
# ezjail-admin stop jailname
# ezjail-admin archive jailname

<Then copy the  archive file to new server (same directory). By default it
will be in /usr/jails/ezjail_archives.>

New server:
# ezjail-admin restore archivefilename
# ezjail-admin start jailname

For more details and optional arguements to these commands you can refer to
the manpage:
http://man.freebsd.org/ezjail-admin

Regards,
Ben
