How to Perform XenServer V2P Conversion with Vinchin?

Virtual-to-Physical (V2P) migration is the process of restoring a virtual machine onto a physical server. This means you take the operating system, applications, settings, and data from a VM and run them directly on physical hardware. Organizations often choose V2P for better performance, to meet licensing requirements, access specific hardware features, troubleshoot issues, or recover a physical host using a VM backup.
