Introduction

More and more people today face the problem of smooth and cost saving system migration. It mostly has to do with constant hardware improvement. Traditional approach involving complete re-installation and re-setup of the operating system and all applications requires a lot of time and labor resources, few can afford. Moreover it doesn’t guarantee all software will flawlessly work on a new hardware platform.

Paragon Virtualization Manager™ 2010 is an elegant solution that can help you accomplish the following tasks:

·         Migrate a live Win2K+ physical system to a virtual environment (P2V Copy);

·         Restore a Win2K+ physical system from a Paragon’s backup to a virtual environment (P2V Restore);

·         Migrate a Win2K+ virtual system to a physical environment (V2P);

·         Migrate from one virtual environment to another (V2V);

·         Migrate a Win2K+ physical system to a different hardware platform (P2P);

·         Connect a virtual disk as if it’s an ordinary physical disk, thus opening up all functionality available for physical disks to virtual (Connect VD);

·         Make OS start up after unsuccessful migration with 3rd party tools (P2V Adjust OS/P2P Adjust OS).
