Question

Backup

Actually, the question is, by what means can you create a complete image of a remote centos7 machine without stopping it and then deploy it on your local in virtualbox-e without any problems?

Answer 1

rsync will do what you need
Install on a local virtual machine the linux distribution that you will use in the future
Run on a local virtual machine
And you wait until everything is downloaded.
You also need to allow root to walk through ssh
, edit the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Instead of PermitRootLogin without-password, insert PermitRootLogin yes
