How to convert sv2i to vmdk file

You can certainly use the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to convert or transform backup created with Symantec Backup Exec (.sv2i) to VMware virtual disk file (.vmdk). It might be very possible that latest version of VMware allows direct sv2i to vmnk conversion through the import function, but this didn't work in old versions.

Understanding SV2I and VMDK file formats

The SV2I file format is associated with Symantec's Backup Exec System Recovery software. It is a backup file that contains information about the system's volume, allowing users to restore their system to a previous state. On the other hand, the VMDK file format is used by VMware products to store virtual disk images. VMDK files are essential for running virtual machines as they contain the entire contents of a virtual machine's hard disk.

Why convert SV2I to VMDK?

Converting an SV2I file to a VMDK file can be beneficial for users who want to migrate their system backups to a virtual environment. This conversion allows users to utilize their system backups within VMware's virtual machines, providing flexibility and ease of access to their data.

Best software for SV2I to VMDK conversion

One of the best tools for converting SV2I files to VMDK is VMware vCenter Converter. This software allows users to convert physical machines and various backup formats into virtual machines. To perform the conversion, follow these steps:

  • Open VMware vCenter Converter.
  • Click on File → Import Machine.
  • Select the SV2I file as the source.
  • Choose VMDK as the target format.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the conversion process.

Another option is to use Symantec System Recovery to first restore the SV2I file to a physical or virtual machine and then use VMware tools to convert the restored system to a VMDK file.
