Hi,

I have may ubuntu VM which currently running on Jiffybox, now I want to migrate it to AWS EC2 instance, my current ubuntu version is 14.04, I tried to take backup (in RAW) format and try to put it in AWS, but AWS throwing error that "not contain any partition table".

When I check jiffybox VM partition using fdisk -l, it showing me out put.

Thread moved to Virtualisation. which is more appropriate and a better fit.

Maybe fsarchiver can come to the rescue?

Here are my backup and restore instructions but I have no idea how they apply to 3rd-party hosts. I host my own ESXi systems.
