CloneZilla is also my recommendation. I've used it for Centos 5/6 and Windows 2008 P2V to VMWare or Hyper-V and it gets the job done. I've even V2V between VMWare and Hyper-V and it worked for Windows and Linux VMs. ---

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 [1]
