Physical to Virtual Machine Convertor Tool

Hello Experts,

I am finding it difficult to find a solution to converting physical machines to virtual machines. I know VMware used to have "vCenter Convertor Standalone" before but now they removed the software from the download list.

Can anyone suggest the best solution to convert the physical machine to virtual machines?

 

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Vikram

Hello.
I recommend Veeam, and you will also have a backup option for your VMs up to 10 (free version).
You just have to validate if your physical server operating system is supported by Veeam.
You need a Server or PC with free disk space to save the backups.
