Convert SV2I to PVS

Understanding SV2I and PVS file formats

The SV2I file format is associated with Symantec System Recovery, a backup and recovery software. It is used to store information about the backup of a system, including the configuration and state of the system at the time of backup. This file is crucial for restoring a system to its previous state.

The PVS file format, on the other hand, is related to Parallels Desktop, a virtualization software that allows users to run multiple operating systems on a single machine. PVS files contain configuration settings for virtual machines, including hardware specifications and other preferences.

Converting SV2I to PVS

Converting an SV2I file to a PVS file involves transforming a system backup configuration into a virtual machine configuration. This process is not straightforward due to the different purposes of these file types. However, it can be achieved by first restoring the SV2I backup to a physical or virtual machine and then using virtualization software to create a PVS file.

Best software for SV2I to PVS conversion

To perform this conversion, you can use the following software:

• Symantec System Recovery: Use this software to restore the SV2I backup to a physical or virtual machine.
• Parallels Desktop: Once the system is restored, use Parallels Desktop to create a new virtual machine. Go to File → New and follow the prompts to set up a new virtual machine, then save it as a PVS file.

By using these tools, you can effectively convert an SV2I file to a PVS file, allowing you to run the restored system as a virtual machine.
