Hi Veeam support,

If we want to restore VM which backup from nutanix AHV to ESXi, is it possible?
Many thanks.

Hello,
you are in the R&D forums (for support, there is https://veeam.com/support), but yes, that's possible.

It's called Instant VM recovery and Nutanix AHV can be the source

Best regards,
Hannes

Hey, it seems that you can run a "Instant Recovery" of the to VMware and then "Move to Production". We used this trick to move some VMs from HyperV to VMware. Maybe it will also work with AHV > VMware.

it's supposed to work. Not "maybe"

I’m testing my AHV Backups that way. Booting up on a vmware host. It works definitely 100%

Now I need AHV 6.0 for the new instant vm recovery feature with V11a.
