Need US-Based (pref. Florida) KVM provider that can import from an image/backup
I will soon be migrating/de-commisioning a physical server, and will essentially just need to migrate one KVM VM (from a Cloudmin KVM GPL host).
I am looking for monthly KVM US-based offers based on the following:
US-Based, preferably Florida
Provider needs to be able to import from a tar.gz backup (which has the LVM disk image) of a KVM VM that I provide.
KVM
100G HDD (hwraidX, SSD not required, but not averse to quotes that include SSD or SSD-cached)
1.5G RAM
1 IP address (with quotes on 2)
This will be running ISPConfig3 with a few Wordpress websites
I have 1.5G of swap but if you can't provide swap I'm not worried about it.

Example contents of the format of the tar.gz KVM LVM image backup. This example is from a backup of a 20G KVM VM. The backup I provide would be 100G in size after extraction. So it appears to be the whole LVM disk image/snapshot inside the tar.gz, however the actual tar.gz is much smaller.

@KuJoe comes to mind immediately. Maybe he can weigh in on if this is something he can or is willing to do.
@jarland ok thanks, a bit surprising that I received no offers though..
I actually see that he hasn't been active here recently. He's certainly one of the more knowledgeable providers around here, and a beast at running servers. I can't think of anything I wouldn't trust him with. Maybe if you've got some time give him a shout on here: http://serverdragon.com/contact.php
Best of luck!
@twain I'm pretty sure I can deal something out... our nearest server is in Jacksonville, Florida.
If you're still searching for a host, please send me an email at service (at) nixcom (dot) ca

PM'd.
Going w/@serverian for this as he provided an excellent offer at his upcoming Miami location. I have one of his 500G storage VPS'es already, which has been great...
Hope you the best
Just wanted to update this to commend @serverian for being able to easily import my LVM backup into his new Orlando (5ms to Miami
) location... Everything's working great, and I would recommend Backupsy to anyone.. he goes the extra step for you.
Thanks @serverian!
