Moving Hyper-V guest VM to another host

[Mildur]

Hi Ryan,

I’ve moved your topic to the existing discussion.
You’re not the first customer to ask about migrating VMs to a new standalone cluster while continuing existing backup chains.

There are several topics on our forum regarding this scenario, including at least one mentioning an "unsupported method." Unfortunately, we cannot comment on these unsupported approaches. Running SQL queries outside of official support is not supported.

Best,
Fabian

Are any Sticky? Because, I tried searching for this in the forums and either A: your search is atrocious or B: it's being filtered, because I couldn't find any of these existing topics.

why not sizing your repositories correctly?

For some systems, this is not an option to have x2.5/x3 storage space.

Case in point, even at our ROBOs we have massive file servers. We have enough space to restore one or two for short time periods, but you're talking about having x2 the storage for long periods of time (assuming you have longer on disk retention) and with ReFS/XFS synthfulls, we don't have them running on dedupe appliances that would otherwise make double identical backups fit easier.
