A physical Windows file server protected by Veeam Agent for Windows needs to be migrated to a local VMware ESXi. The server has several volumes: C: (60GB), D: (1TB) and E: (4TB). What is the quickest option to migrate the server to a local VMware ESXi host?
The quickest option to migrate the server to a local VMware ESXi host is to perform Instant VM Recovery. Instant VM Recovery allows you to rapidly restore an entire machine from a backup directly to a VMware ESXi host, including all associated volumes. This method minimizes downtime and avoids the complexities of performing separate recovery operations for individual volumes or setting up an empty VM and then performing bare metal recovery.
~Answer is B By using Instant VM Recovery, you can migrate the entire physical Windows file server, including all volumes (C:, D:, and E:), to a local VMware ESXi host in a quick and efficient manner. This method eliminates the need for a time-consuming bare metal recovery or disk export/import process.
I believe B is correct - from https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/agents/integration_instant_restore_vsphere.html?ver=120 "Restore to vSphere VM The procedure of Instant Recovery for a Veeam Agent computer practically does not differ from the same procedure for a VM. The main difference from Instant Recovery is that you do not need to select the recovery mode, because Veeam Agent computers are always restored to a new location."
D is correct, I think in the question ask backup using veeam agent and not mention VBR is available
B is correct. Fastest is always instant recovery
