I need to migrate a bunch of Hyper-V VMs to a new Windows server for the first time. While researching different options I have seen some info online that Veeam can do this, but I can’t find clear instructions for VBR. Does anyone have any info or links on a guide? Or does this require additional Veeam software? I see various methods are available, but I’m getting into VBR and VBO and want to see what other tasks I can do with Veeam. Plus it seems like it may be an easy task with Veeam since we are already backing these up with VBR.

There’s nothing in Veeam for explicitly migrating VMs. While there are workarounds, such as setting up replicas, restoring backups of the vms, or using instant recovery/quick migration functionality, each of these require some level of downtime for the VMs.
With Hyper-V, you should be able to perform a Live Migration to move the vms with no noticeable downtime. You’ll have to make sure you first set up hosts for live migration.
Ok thanks for the clarification. I’ll look into those other methods, thanks!
