Debian – How to make an ISO copy of Linux-filesystem and user files of VPS Debian based

debiandebian-lennydisk-imagersync

I have a Debian-Based VPS on some hosting. I want to migrate from it and i need to make a full copy of all Linux-filesystem (and installed packages) + all home directory with website files. And then pack/convert it to ISO image so that to use it on cloud hostings like Amazon.

The problem is that i have only ssh root access. Hosting support can't do that for me.

Another part of the question – is it possible to enlarge the Linux-filesystem by not re-installing it and using the free space of home directory?

Is it possible to do? I guess it is possible with rsync or something like that. Will my Mysql databes copy together with all other data?

Thanks in advance!

Description: filename encoding conversion tool
 convmv can convert a single filename, a directory tree or all files
 on a filesystem to a different encoding. It only converts the
 encoding of filenames, not files contents. A special feature of
 convmv is that it also takes care of symlinks: the encoding of the
 symlink's target will be converted if the symlink itself is being
 converted.
 .
 It is also possible to convert directories to UTF-8 which are already
 partially UTF-8 encoded.

apt-get install convmv

DeltaCopy is rsync implemented in a more windows-like manner. As I recall the DeltaCopy documentation contains an example of doing what you need. (unix->windows)
