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.
