just for reference most enterprise backup products are not affected by this and will have vddk for backups and restores. if your backup product supports cross platform restores likely migration is not blocked for you, and many free / trial editions are likely generous enough for most small - medium shops to migrate on the free offering

if you already pay for an ent backup product check if it can restore from vmware backups to another platform and you’re prolly fine (for now)
