If a Virtual Machine's MoRef is changed due to migration to new vCenter / inventory change in vCenter, you would receive the error "Object "vmname" is not found". Please see KB1299 for more details.



This utility is designed to assist in re-mapping the MoRef ID's of the Virtual Machines you are backing up and/or replicating using Veeam Backup & Replication, so that backup incremental chains remain intact, after an inventory change in VMware vSphere vCenter. Do not run any jobs before using the migration tool otherwise, the migration process won't be possible.

Please note that this utility is provided as a courtesy, and is not supported by Veeam Technical Support. Use at your own risk.



This tool cannot fix jobs targeting a Cloud Connect repository. You must perform an Active Full backup.

Important! If you are migrating to a 6.5U2 VCSA, VMware has a new migration utility, which could preserve existing VM MoRef IDs:

This VMware utility only works for a 5.5 VC to a 6.5U2 VCSA!
