Debian – How to migrate physical Debian installation into VirtualBox image

debianvirtualboxvirtualization

I have a physical (not virtualized) 32Bit Debian server I'd like to mirror as VirtualBox image. I seem unable to find tools like vmware-converter to do the trick.

So: what tools can I use? Or, can you point me to a howto document?

Edit:
After I posted my question, I found this: Creating a virtual machine in VirtualBox from a physical one

Still, I hoped for a tool…

You can use the VMware Converter to get a copy of a (running) physical machine. The resulting image can be user natively by current VirtualBox releases.
