Cross-Hypervisor Restores (VM Conversion)

Updated

When restoring from a virtual machine backup, you can choose to convert a virtual machine to be used with a different hypervisor.

You can perform conversions from streaming backups, from secondary copies, or, for hypervisors that support IntelliSnap, from IntelliSnap backup copies. You cannot perform a conversion from a Snap copy.

Conversion Support

The following table shows the cross-hypervisor restores that are supported by Commvault.
