This guide provides a full framework for migrating virtual machines between hypervisors using Veeam—particularly VMware to Proxmox VE and back. It covers considerations such as vCPU limits, storage type compatibility (RAW, QCOW2, VMDK), and guest-agent requirements. It explains using full VM recovery for Proxmox migrations and Instant VM Recovery (IVMR) for rapid failback to VMware, detailing downtime planning, rollback procedures, networking, and incremental backup optimization. The guide emphasizes automation, scripting opportunities, and tuning performance for large-scale migrations.
