P2V and V2P

Does VEEAM Agent for windows support P2V and V2P ??
If so, please help me with the documents or urls for the same.

Hi Vara,

First: Welcome to the forums!

P2V and V2P are not supported because we won't do a truly conversion. However, when you browse through these forums you will notice that many people have done a backup with VAW from a physical box and did a BMR to a virtual machine. What happens mostly is that they need to clean-out some old RAID drivers or other specific hardware drivers after the restore.

The same can be done with V2P but then you need to remember that when you load the RAID drivers (and maybe even some network drivers also depending on the location of the backup) when you are booted at the recovery media to get the restore going.

Hope it helps
Mike

Thanks for the information.
And can we try all sorts of backup- baremetal disaster recovery, full VM, Files & Folders, SQL Database backup, Synthetic and Active Full Backups just with Trial License ??
Is it possible to extend the Trial License from 30 Days to 45-60 Days period ??

A trial license will give you all the options so you can try out everything.

Extending the license is something different. Are you working on this with Veeam representatives? In that case you can talk to them
