Moving V12 Esxi VM to a new windows Server

I currently have a VBR v12 server running as an ESXI VM. Looking to move it off VMware to new hardware. Was thinking the easiest way might be to setup the new server as a Hyper-V host and then use the converters available (starwinds etc) to make it into a Hyper-V VM. Thoughts?

You can just do a configuration backup, create a new VM and restore after the initial setup.  That would be easier.

maybe create new VBR, which will backed up current VBR, and then restore to hyperV

or use suggestion above - rebuild new VM and provide recovery of backup configuration after binaries of Veeam will be installed

Hi ​@gvysk ,

I think the answer of ​@Chris.Childerhose is the easiest way. The cleanest way would be to disable all Jobs, make a config Backup, Install the new Server and the restore the Config Backup with the migrate Option ( Not Recovery)

That should Work without any issues. 

Cheers
