Yes, it’s possible. It’s called Bare Metal Recovery. There is a chance, that you need to load specific drivers (for storage and network) in the recovery media todo the restore:
And there can be some driver issue after booting up the os after the restore.
You need to clean up the old drivers after restore and be ready to install new drivers if necessary for the HPE Server.

Linux is possible too. But i expect much more issues with the new hardware as with windows. I’m not a linux expert.
Me and a colleagues of mine has done some restore testing on a xenserver vm.
Backup done from XenServer VM. Restore done to a VmWare VM with the recovery media. It has worked. But physical machine could be a different story.
