Exporting a machine from AWS?

Question

Amazon Web Services

Good afternoon friends!
I ask for advice on how best to export the machine from AWS. That is, put the instances in your local virtual environment. Linux and Windows.
-You can't do this with AWS EC2 API-Tools because export is only available for imported machines.
-Now I'll try to make Wirth. hard drive from them using VMWare Converter and XenConvert, but no result (yet).
- Still thinking about Rsync. Q: How does rsync deal with whole system transfers? Do you have to add a lot? Synchronization is also interesting in that it will be possible to update the local server in the same way, automatically.
Thanks in advance for ideas.
UPD: Unfortunately, it didn't work with XenConvert. I mounted the disk of the desired system to the temporary system and converted it to OVF. As well as in a separate file, and directly to the local Xen server. In both cases, after several hours of conversion - "Failed to import the OVF Package". In XenSever, the machine is hidden, it does not start - No bootable Device". The Windows startup repair utility does not see the system. I'm trying further.

Answer 1

It was possible to pull out the Windows machine, relatively quickly, but with the help of a third-party program. I'm testing. Later I will leave the algorithm of actions here.
UPDT
It turned out to transfer the system using Acronis Backup&Restore.
I connected the disk with the system to another Windows instance, made a full backup of the necessary disk there and restored it on the local machine.
But in general, yes, doing so is complete trash.
