How to Perform XCP-ng V2P Conversion with Vinchin?

Virtual-to-Physical (V2P) migration is the process of moving a virtual machine onto physical hardware. This means the system—including its operating system, applications, settings, and data—runs directly on a physical server. Organizations use V2P when they want to move workloads out of virtualization for better performance, licensing needs, direct hardware access, or troubleshooting. It’s also helpful for recovering a physical server from a virtual backup without rebuilding everything from scratch.

Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports V2P migrations from many popular virtual environments. These include VMware, Hyper-V, oVirt, RHV, OLVM, Proxmox VE, XenServer, XCP-ng, Sangfor HCI, Huawei Fusion Compute, H3C CAS/UIS, Arcfra, KayGrid, InCloud Sphere, FusionOne Compute, ZStack, and OpenStack. With Vinchin’s image-based backups and recovery ISO tools you can easily migrate your systems—including those running on XCP-ng—to physical servers.
