How to Perform Proxmox V2P Conversion with Vinchin?

Virtual-to-Physical (V2P) migration is the process of restoring a virtual machine to physical hardware. This means you can take an entire system—including its operating system, applications, settings, and data—and run it directly on a physical server. V2P is useful when you need better performance, must meet licensing rules, require direct hardware access, or want to troubleshoot issues that are easier to solve on physical machines. It’s also helpful for recovering a failed physical host using a VM backup.

Vinchin Backup & Recovery makes V2P migration simple and reliable. With Vinchin, you can restore virtual machines from many platforms back to physical servers. Supported platforms include VMware, Hyper-V, oVirt, RHV, OLVM, Proxmox, XenServer, XCP-ng, Sangfor HCI, Huawei Fusion Compute, H3C CAS/UIS, Arcfra, KayGrid, InCloud Sphere, FusionOne Compute, ZStack and OpenStack. No matter your environment size or complexity—Vinchin helps you move workloads with confidence.
