Virtual Conversion

Summary

ActiveImage Protector offers two virtual conversion methods. If one method fails during migration, please consider trying another:

1)  Conversion from Backup Image / HyperStandby:

• Convert a backup image to a virtual disk or virtual machine in a virtual environment.
• This process includes the installation of the driver for the virtual machine.

2)  Conversion of a Physical Disk / vStandby:

• Create a Virtual Standby Replica of the local system on a hypervisor.
• The virtualization process includes installing the driver for the virtual machine.

3)  Restore:

• Restore a backup image to a virtual machine.
• When creating a backup image, enable the virtualization option.
• Alternatively, use a virtualization adapter to create a new recovery point (differential backup) by installing the driver for the virtual machine and then proceed with the restore.
