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.

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.How about using FSArchiver from a live CD to create the backup image(s) ? http://www.fsarchiver.org/Main_Page _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
