Been a long time, but thanks for the heads-up. In fact the backup was done by the supplier of the server, and never shared them with IT team due to their contractual agreements. And this issue happened when the agreement had expired and no longer had the supplier to help..
Finally swapping the faulty disk with a new one solved the issue, as being in RAID 1, the rebuilding process was done.

Hello,

I currently have a RedHat Linux version 6.4 running on a physical server (HP). However, recently it has started to show a failing disk problem, with some failures at software level as well like the terminal not opening properly, and while waiting for a new replacement disk to be made available, I would like to be able to backup a whole image of the server, and eventually run it on VirtualBox or VMWare should the disk fail completely.

Any tool (free preferably) or manual steps which can be useful in my case?

Thanks.
