[Users] Physical server to OpenVZ

[Stefan Kok]

Hi List

I am brand new to OpenVZ. I will get straight to the point.

I want to  backup physical servers on remote sites with tar/dump and
restore them at our central office to  virtual machine.  Once disaster
strikes move the virtual server to a new physical server and transport
it to the remote office. 


My question: 

1) Is this possible (backup physical server and restore to virtual) ?
2) If so is there any documentation / HOWTO's or pointers that you could
give please ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Stefan.
