Convert VMware to Proxmox // Use Veeam Community Edition for Migration

Описание: Many are thinking about migrating from VMware ESXi over to Proxmox and there are starting to be many solutions and ways to migrate with many new tools including Proxmox migration, including the built-in migration wizard that is native to Proxmox as of 8.x. However, Veeam Community Edition provides a free way to migrate your VMware virtual machines over to Proxmox. It is freely available and makes the process super simple. I guide you through the process of adding your Proxmox VE server to Veeam, backing up your VMs, and restoring your VMware backups over on Proxmox. You will be up and running on Proxmox in no time.
