Hi there:
 
I am just wondering if this is a doable method to clone a database to other machine. I have three identical linux serves with postgresql server installed at the same location. I have a new customized database and initial data load into server 1. Can I just copy all of the database files physically from server 1  to server 2 and server 3? I assume this is one of the method to restore a database.
 
What I am trying to do is to sell a solution package to clients. The solution will include Linux + Apache + PHP + PostgreSQL. So every customers will have the same database configuration initially.
 
Any other suggestion?
 
Thanks!
