BMR from Physical to VM

Hello,

Not sure if i'm in the right community, but i wanted to see if anyone has successfully restored a physical machine that was backed up by Netbackup or Backup Exec to a newly created virtual machine? If so, what extra steps (if any) did you have to take to ensure the VM came up properly after the restore?

you probably need to be in the converter community:

essentially this can be done......

- create vm close as possible to config (disk size / scsi ctrl etc)

- install NBU client

- restore

- repair option in windows or convert VM using VMware converter to fix driver issues.
