capturing an image of the server with the image-capture utility;

replicating the image to a local storage in a dedupe-storage format;

replicating the image to a remote storage; appliance;

recovering the server in a target computing environment using the replicated image, wherein the target computing environment comprises a cloud-computing environment; and

generating a set of relevant scripts that provide a set of attributes and a functionality of the server, wherein the set of attributes comprises a CPU, memory, a network setting, a recovery region in the specified cloud-computing platform, a disk format, and a logical volume manager devices of the subset of servers.
