With Vinchin, you can easily migrate oVirt virtual machines (supporting oVirt versions 4.5.x, 4.4.x, 4.3.x, 4.2.x, 4.1.x, and 4.0.x) to various Proxmox environments, including Proxmox VE versions 7.2, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2.

In addition to its powerful backup and recovery capabilities, Vinchin offers seamless cross-platform migration in just a few simple steps, ensuring both data integrity and business continuity. Whether you're looking to strengthen your disaster recovery strategy or optimize your virtualized architecture, Vinchin provides a stable and reliable solution to help you efficiently complete the migration process.

Before you restore the VM on Proxmox, you need to have a oVirt 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 oVirt restore point you want to restore, and click Next.

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 RestoreRestore as scheduled will automatically restore the VMs at a specific time, and Once-off Restore will restore the VMs only once.
