    Hi,

    I am planning to move to a new server soon and was wondering what's the best way to go... unfortunately, I didn't set up my current server in a virtual machine :(

    I am currently running Debian 7.6 with ISPConfig.

    Is it possible to convert my whole installation into a virtual machine?
    Or can I just copy everything over to the new server..?
    Or should I reinstall everything new from start?

    It's the first time I am doing this, so.. not too sure what's the easiest/safest/best way..

    Also, would you recommend to setup everything in a virtual machine the next time?


    Cheers,
    Kira

    Answer is Yes.

    Yes you can do it also.

    Yes, it can be done, but not recommended.

    The best way is backup/restore whole setup. Check this http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41609
