backup exec system recovery 7.0 will convert your image to a virtual hard drive file. Either vmdk or vhd. Vmware or virtual server

We've done production servers with out users ever noticing a difference. I guess it depends on your environment, but we use an ESX server.

If this is the case of moving VMDK's around, you should be able to just restore the vmdk to the server and should see that file.
