How do I do a physical to virtual conversation of Windows Server 2008?

Post by riahc3 »

Hello

I know Veeam can do physical to virtual conversions using the Veeam Agent.

The thing is the documentation says it supports Windows Server 2008 R2, nothing Windows Server 2008.

Is there any other to do this using Veeam?

With regular Windows Server 2008, you can try creating a full backup using the older Veeam Agent (if you still have the installation), then restore to the virtual machine.

Ive tried to look for the oldest Veeam agent that was compatible with Windows Server 2008 but I cant find it. Do you know the version?
