I have a server which I can not physically reach at this time, and I
need to run some major upgrades on it. I've been a bit lax and hesitant
to do this, since I don't have access to the machine's keyboard/screen
if something were to go wrong. I currently access the machine via ssh.
What I would like to do is create a dd image of the server's drive and
work on the things I need to change in a virtual machine. This way, if
I screw something up, I'm not hosing a live server.
Can anyone here give me some advice or recommendation on this, if it is
at all possible?
