I've got a cheap VPS at a local data centre and they offer backups and a checkpoint/restore feature on their web admin panel but apparently they can't provide me a downloadable snapshot of the backup so I can run it locally, which is a pain in the rear end.

Is there any way to clone a Linux while its running, other than manual fuckery with copying and fstab? A tool would be useful. Especially if it could send it to an s3 bucket or something
