If using VMWare Server, you can use harddisk imaging software like Ghost or Ghost4Linux to create an image. You can then 'restore' them back in a VM. This works for N, but not for WIn2K or Win2K3 servers.

Yes, I know that those are already outdated but the application running on that was not compatible SQL 2000. I am thinking to install CentOS as host OS on the new hardware so that I can also use the machine for other purpose such as Samba and then put Virtualization software and put NT4 as guest, is that possible? I also need your advised which virtual software to use between QEMU, Xen, VMWARE. Is it possible to only use the free VMWARE Server downloaded from internet? I want to implement the said setup so that in the future, will migrate all our application to Linux. Has anyone here share his/her experience and expertise on what I am planning to do? Any pointers please.
