We will export there vm to any format they want. Usally we give it to them as Acronis Tib files, but more have asked for them in VHD formats. And lately we have even offered to convert a VM to a physical box. There is of course a charge for this service, but it lets out customers know that they can move if they want. Most transfers will fit on a external Raid 1 drive that we ship to where ever the client wants, we do not allow the transfer via internet of anything over 10gigs. </p> Sorry I know this is an old post, but I joined to add this. :)
