Hi Lindsay,

We have vSphere server which we are looking to repurpose as a Proxmox Server, but we have to transfer and convert the VM's on it first.

The Admin for it wants to just backup all the VM's using Veam (much easier) and then convert the backups to KVM/qcow2.

Now I realise that obviously that can't be done directly as Veam doesn't support KVM :) There's only about 15 VM's so I'm happy to run the qemu-umg convert myself.

What I don't know is whether Veam can just restore the vSphere disk image to a directory that I can access, or does it only restore to a vSphere Store?

Anyone have experience with this?
What I did in such a situation was the following:
- Stop al VMWare VMs
- Download VM disks to another media (optionally check that you can run successfully them on another proxmox server)
- Format vSphere server to Proxmox
- copy and qemu-img the disk images

I suggest you uninstall vmware tools before stopping the VMs.

Cheers
Eneko
