Hi experts,

Thanks for your replies and advices.

Just a quick question, as we have an old M5 and M10, we were wondering 
if we could replace directly the HDD from one of these two routers to 
our M20. Is it that possible? any experience doing that? If both of them 
have the same JUNOS installed, and then copy the current 
configuration..  thoughts?

Many thanks,
