Hi
I do this last week, and I use CloneZilla to generate a file image from a phisical server running Ubuntu and after that, used Clonezilla to restore into KVM hypervisor with no tears...
Thanks for the info. I was kinda hoping for a solution using tools that are supplied with Centos but this sounds feasible so I will give it a try.
One of my favorite approaches, which is *FAST*, is to take the live server down and make tarballs of all its relevant filesystems with a live CD, and possibly an NFS share. Store the tarballs for reference, and use a live CD or PXE toolkit to allow access to the disk images in the new virtual machine.
How about using FSArchiver from a live CD to create the backup image(s) ? http://www.fsarchiver.org/Main_Page
