Hello Excito,
I have now a 2nd B2 running as backup of the first one.
Now my question, how can i transport all users (with data) from one B2 to the other.
In other words how can i copy the /home map to the other B2 so users can access
the data on both B2

well....
You have a few options really. Just a couple off the top of my head:
SAMBA- mount the new drives as shares to the old ones and set up automounts using fstab
data for usernames and passwords/groups can be found in /etc usually, so you could use that to recreate them on the other disk.
LDAP
All depends on exactly what you want to do and how much work you want to put in.

Thanks for your answer...
I want to make a mirror image so the 2nd B2 is on 24H standby.

have you tried just backing the one system up to the other?
Do a full rsync for example of everything, so the two Bubba's are mirrors of each other, then just do a routine sync between the home directories.
