将ec2服务器移动到自己的服务器

Question

Hello i have searched far and wide for a way to do this,

we are a small company that has our server hosted at amazon with an ec2 instance, we have recently bought a new server to keep at our office for testing purposes.

is there any easy way to create an image or use amazons AMI to make a complete backup/duplicate of the server? all log files and temporary files is not important i just need the system that has been developed for us to run independently on our new server.

any help is very much appreciated because we only got very little knowledge in this area ourselves but we are learning fast as well! :)

thanks in advance!
