Restoring to disimilar hardware?

[ozgurerdogan]

Is is possible to restore image to a different server? What must be noted?

 

Thanks in advance.

Macintosh or Windows?

It is a windows machine. Actually it is a vps machine. But retrospect works great even it is vps. So I am trying to tread as physical machine to be able to migrate from parallels virtuozzo vps to proxmox vps system.

If you are backing up a guest OS from a virtual system, you should be able to restore it to another virtual system. This typically is possible because VM machines are hardware independent.

 

But Retrospect typically does not allow for the restore to different hardware. The files will restore, but WIndows will not understand that restored data.

Yes I thought the same. But my problem is I guess, I am trying to restore from different virtualization platform. It is not Parallels virtuozzo to virtuozzo.

It is from Virtuozzo to Proxmox.

 

Let me ask you one more thing, If I restore only files not system state, does services and their settings like IIS, Dns Records also restores.

 

Or restoring only files does not help to restore IIS, Dns etc..

 

Thanks in advance.

Is this also the case when restoring a Macintosh system installation?

Probably yes.
