torch2k Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Just looking for ideas on how to accomplish this, and if it's possible. Essentially, I'd like to move a 2GB Digital Ocean droplet over to a an identical VM running on Unraid. Is there a backup and restore option that's possible? Would I need to create the VM first, and then perform an rsync of the entire drive? Quote Link to comment
torch2k Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 followup, here's something I've tried in the meantime, but without success yet. created a disk image of the droplet via the command: ssh [email protected] "dd if=/dev/vda1 | gzip -1 -" | dd of=image.gz I unzipped and renamed to vdisk2.img. Moved vdisk2.img to the Unraid server and re-configured VM to use it after setting the correct ownership and permissions on the file. Tried booting a pre-exisitng Ubuntu 18 VM off of the new image, but it just wants to re-install at Grub. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment
