I am running Veeam Backup and Replication and our Production VM went down and currently running Instant Recovery VM directly off NAS. My Datastore is has only 1.34TB left and the VM I need to bring back on the Host Production is 1.7TB. I did some housecleaning but still not enough free space on the datastore. So, I was going to thin Clone the VM that is running directly off the Backup NAS so I can change the size of the VM and partitions in order to fit on the 1.34TB free space. The option is there to Clone from vSphere, however since I used Veeam's Instant Recovery from a previous backup state, I wanted to know if this has been done before and successful. I suspect it should work out fine, but wanted some input from anyone who has done this.
Alternatively I could just delete the downed VM and migrate the IR to Production, but sometimes it is a good idea to keep both in place in order to access any files from the downed vm to the migrated vm, if needed.
Thanks in advance for any input.
