Here you will learn how to easily migrate VMware VMs to Proxmox using Vinchin, which not only provides powerful backup and recovery features, but also supports migration to Proxmox environments from VMware vSphere v8.0, v7.0, v6.x, v5.x, and their corresponding ESXi releases, including Proxmox VE 7.2, Proxmox VE 7.4, Proxmox VE 8.0, and Proxmox VE 8.1. In a few simple steps, you can achieve a seamless cross-platform migration that ensures data integrity and business continuity. Whether you're looking for disaster recovery or optimizing your virtualization platform, Vinchin provides you with a stable and reliable migration solution.
Before you restore the VM on Proxmox, you need to have a VMware VM backup.
Let's open a browser and log in Vinchin Backup server web console. Go to VM Backup > Restore page.
Step 1. Select Restore Point
In the list, you can see all the available restore points. Just select the VMware restore point you want to restore, and click Next.
Step 2. Select Restore Destination
Select a Target Host where to run the restored VM. Here, you can simply configure the restored VM.
Here select the specific Proxmox host and you can simply configure the new VM here, such as VM name, CPU, Memory, Virtual disk and Virtual Network. After configuration, click Next.
Step 3. Select Restore Strategies
In Schedule, you can choose Restore as Scheduled or Once-off Restore. Restore as scheduled will automatically restore the VMs at a specific time, and Once-off Restore will restore the VMs only once.
After configuring all recovery policies, click Next.
Step 4. Review and submit the job
Once the job is created, you'll be redirected to the job list page and the restore job will run now.
Click the job name to check the job progress. And the flow chart shows the real-time transmission speed and the bar under it is the job progress.
Here, you can see the VM has been successfully restored.
To make sure that everything went well, we are advised to check the new virtual machine in Proxmox VE again. Here you can confirm that the migration from VMware to Proxmox has been successfully completed.
