rsync is the perfect tool when you need to synchronize two files or file trees, be it just your homedirectory or a whole server. rsync can handle that.

rsync -aH --numeric-ids -x --delete / <additional mountpoints> <target>
usually does the trick. This should result in an exact copy of the source tree.
