Cloning an OS from a physical server to a virtual VPS

From the machine from which we copy:
/ usr / bin / rsync –progress -avz -e ssh --exclude-from = exclude_list / root @ IP_DESTINATION: /

where exclude_list:
/ etc / fstab
/boot/grub/grub.conf
/ proc
/ sys
/ dev
/ mnt
/ media
/ lost + found
/ etc / sysconfig / network-scripts /

Next, fix / etc / hosts
Fix startup programs
Check network settings, DNS
Configs where the old ip of the machine can be found: grep -lir 'old_ip' / etc /
