CloneZilla is also my recommendation. I've used it for Centos 5/6 and
Windows 2008 P2V to VMWare or Hyper-V and it gets the job done. I've
even V2V between VMWare and Hyper-V and it worked for Windows and Linux
VMs.

 One of my favorite approaches, which is *FAST*, is to take the live
server down and make tarballs of all its relevant filesystems with a
live CD, and possibly an NFS share. Store the tarballs for reference,
and use a live CD or PXE toolkit to allow access to the disk images in
the new virtual machine. 

How about using FSArchiver from a live CD to create the backup image(s)
?
