Hello! 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!
