Are there any mechanisms to back up VMs (or physical hosts) that aren't using PVE as the hypervisor, or aren't Debian-based? I would like to archive and power-down my current VMware environment.
there is no special vmware integration that would ensure consistency or also backup the configuration, so you'd need to handle that yourself (the VM config in a backup created by PVE is just a blob with the raw config file for a PVE VM, so if you can convert your VMWare config to that you could also back it up so that the result is maybe directly restorable in PVE ). alternatively, you could manually create the VM on PVE, map the backed up image using proxmox-backup-client, and then use the "import-from" syntax to copy from the backup into a newly allocated volume on your desired target storage.
