Restore P2V Proxmox

[pino]

I'm trying everything to restore a backup of a physical Windows PC to a Proxmox VM, but to no avail. Has anyone succeeded?

It seems few people use Proxmox virtual machines, I've never heard of it before either. How did you restore Windows to a Proxmox virtual machine? Could you provide detailed steps?

We recommend that you first create a Proxmox virtual machine that supports the Windows operating system to be restored, boot from the bootable media created by Hasleo Backup Suite on that virtual machine, and then restore Windows to the virtual machine.

Would a universal restore be necessary since the VM's emulated hardware may not match the hardware in the image to be restored.

The procedure is exactly this: the data on the virtual disk is successfully restored, but Windows cannot boot. The data is there, but it won't boot.
The same procedure works with Veeam, but I'd like to use Hasleo. For information, the V2V Hasleo restore works correctly.

I'm not familiar with the Hasleo products but have a look at their EasyUEFI product that seems to handle correcting boot issues using the WinPE disk.

As @CDC9762 mentioned, you should try checking the 'universal restore' option when performing the restore operation. Additionally, please provide us with more details about this issue. Such as the OS infomation, BSOD or other information. If possible, send some screenshots to us.

It is possible to restore a Hasleo backup of a physical machine to a virtual machine for Proxmox.

The best idea was to create a VM, install Hasleo, and create a WinPE ISO.
The ISO starts, but I can't access the internal LAN, even though the network works after loading the drivers: with WinPE, I can't access shared network resources.
I then created a VM with Windows with two HDs. I installed Hasleo and copied the backup to the first disk from Windows. I installed Hasleo and ran the restore on the second disk with universal restore.
I shut down the VM, disconnected the main disk, enabled boot on the second disk, and voilà, the VM started up and running. All I had to do was install the Proxmox drivers.
This is definitely a good idea for restoring your physical machines in VMs.

The best thing would be to make network sharing work with winpe to retrieve the backup file from the local network but I was unable to do that.

You should be able to connect to a network share in WinPE if you open a command prompt (in HBS: Tools, Windows Command Prompt) and enter this:
net use n: \\yourserver\yourshare /user:youruser *

It should prompt for the password and then the network share should be available in the browser (drive N: in this example).
