The quickest option to migrate the server is to export all disks, create an empty VM, and attach the disks. This method involves the least amount of configuration and allows for a direct transfer of existing data to the new virtual machine without the need for complex recovery procedures. Exporting and attaching disks can be done efficiently and provides a straightforward approach to virtualization.

In production that can vary, I encountered this scenario, instant recovery is the quickest but if you need to merge back it's slower than just a restore but it's also online first and the question doesn't have that consideration
