Hi,
I have a task to convert the existing centos servers to hyperV. Any tips as to how best method as i'm new to linux systems. There were a couple of old articles but it seemed the solution ended up of creating another vm instance of centos, running a backup and restoring the data into the new hyperV vm. Are there better steps to use Veeam solution for these tasks? Thanks

Re: Convert physical Centos v7 to HyperV
Hello Nad77
Welcome to the forum.
You can restore a HyperV VM backup as a vSphere VM:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
Please note, with Linux machines, such restore may require additional work from your Linux admins. From my experience Windows machines works much better out of the box than Linux.
I suggest, that you start a test restore to an isolated network to test the migration process of your CentOS machine with instant recovery.
Best,
Fabian

Re: Convert physical Centos v7 to HyperV
Hi,
Since the machine is physical, I think your best bet would be to use Veeam Agent for Linux to back up the machine. The resulting backup can be restored to Hyper-V using one of two methods:
1) entire VM
2) Instant Recovery
Just mind that, depending on the system and its drivers, some additional work might be required.
Thanks!
