In this guide, we;ll discuss how to image or clone the hard drive of a CentOS 7 server used as a DHCP and DNS server in production (DNS and DHCP data don’t change that often on the server). The cloned image will also be encrypted on-fly during the cloning process. A passphrase will be used to encrypt and decrypt the image. In case of losing or forgetting the passphrase, the imaged data will be forever lost.
