It's possible to migrate VM to a different hypervisor?

It's possible to migrate VM to a different hypervisor using the agent that is from KVM to HyperV/VmWare?

Hello Biagio.

Veeam Agent is not designed as migration tool, but you can take a backup of entire operating system and then using Bare Metal Recovery (for example booting blank VM via Recovery iso) restore it back to any VM.

Hi Dima,

I know that it's not a migration tool, but my idea is to made full backup and then use it like you write.
So I made full backup of Linux/Windows from KVM ( actually host ) and then move to HyperV by Bare Metal Recovery.
PS: I've not still tried the Microsoft Converter tool.
