I wonder if I can convert a physical machine to a virtual by running locally a VM standalone converter ?
Then copy the coverted VM file to a network share then import it to a Virtual center?
Thanks

if I understand, With the Converter Standalone:
we can convert the local physical machine or the remote physical machine, these are both considered as source machines in the conversion.
Then the Destination has to be the Virtual center.
Correct?

Product Brieifing states
Create virtual machine clones of physical or virtual machines
and archive them to a file server at an alternative site for disaster
recovery. In the event of a disaster, the cloned virtual machines can
be deployed on VMware Server or VMware virtual infrastructure to
provide end users with access to their files or applications.
