I'll answer this myself, since I just experimented and found a strikingly
simple solution using dd and SSH (better than FTP).
Backup the server over the network from a live rescue session:
# dd if=/dev/sda status=progress | gzip --fast - | \
ssh microlinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \
dd of=centos-7.9-server-image.gz
Restore this image from a live rescue session:
# ssh microlinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \
dd if=centos-7.9-server-image.gz | \
gunzip --fast - | dd of=/dev/sda status=progress
Why didn't I think of this before ?
