So small update here Veam Recovery will work to a certain extent but there are some considerations to take in- unlike starwind I don't believe you can essentially clone your VM using Veeam and have both the old machine and new machine running concurrently. The final step of the Veeam recovery proces...

Interesting Idea,

So just to clarify that would mean we install Starwind on this server and run a P2V with the destination being the hyperV box?

No success this morning- cloning C drive results in errors stating it cannot find the OS. Tried the DVD but it failed as well. Part of the problem is that, and I hadn't thought of this just in my race to get this done, the C drive is part of a RAID array on the VM. I'll need to see if maybe the Veea...

Yeah this absolutely must be tied to drivers or something I'm trying one final time, today with a few parameters adjusted. If I can boot from the 100G C:\ drive where the OS is stored I will post in here to let everyone know. I know this server is running windows server 2019 standard, I have a disc ...

So the VM absolutely must be offline? I only ask because this environment only has the one DB server and it will be challenging to find a time when this box can be completely shut down due to the systems that rely on it. Probably my best bet would be late night or over the holiday but even still it ...

Thank you and the Starwind team for creating such a useful tool and being so responsive on the forums.

Got it- so the procedure should be 1. On Host Vcenter VM: Uninstall VCenter tools, allow it to cleanup and probably reboot 2. On Destination server, run migration on the target VM 3. Following migration, run startup repair to ensure system boots w.o issues I had one additional question regarding a S...

I have an old ESXI server in Ohio (I am in Atlanta). I am currently checking out Starwind as the tool seems really simple to use compared to Windows Admin Center. I had a few quick questions: 1. I've got a test VM I've backed up to Atlanta. When I load this VM into Hyper V and attempt to boot (point...
