Just put the same version of backupmenu on both tablets, backup the source and then put the sd card for restore on the target.

Sadly, this doesn't work. I installed the default Nokia software, and made the spare N900 bootable. I then installed backup menu and installed the power kernel. I checked that the spare N900 still booted after the kernel update. I made certain the kernel version was the same on both phones, and used backup menu on the phone I want to clone to make backups of rootfs and opt. I copied the rootfs and opt tar files onto the target machine, and restored the backups using backup menu on the target. Result: bricked phone.

Does anyone know what I might have done wrong?
