[erimotte 0]

Hi there,

 

first of all, I hope I am not violating any rules, secondly big thanks to the guys running the forum, great job !

 

So, i have set up a xpenology bare-metal Hp microserver Gen 8 on few year ago, and all works fine. ( boot from sd card jun's mod)

Now, i want migrate this dsm 6.2.3 on a VM, my choice :Promox or Esxi is not fixed.

 

First question, Is it possible without to do a complete restore of my data ?

even if my data isn't  so big (750Go), what is the best way to do ?

 

Second question, for a home use, which solution to prefered :Esxi or Promox.(I plan to upgrade the processor G1610T to a VT-d compatible like Xeon E3-1265L v2)

 

thanks!
