Pretty much any backup/restore process or server migration process you 
already have in place can be used.  All you are doing is migrating the 
data from a physical harddrive to a virtual harddrive.  The only 
difference is that you have to create a config file for the VM, instead 
of just hitting the power button on a physical server.

We've used dar and rsync with great success for migrating physical servers 
to Xen and KVM virtual machines, both PV and HVM.

There's nothing special needed.
