VMware vSphere • Cross vCenter vMotion

Hi, I have some questions about migration between different vCenters.

[Prerequisites.]
- Ihave two vCenters with different SSO domains.
- Veeam Backup is already connected to each vCenter.
- I have a vSphere Enterprise Plus license, which supports Advanced Cross vCenter vMotion.
- The two vCenter Servers share the same LUN on the same storage.[/list]

[Purpose]
- I want to migrate virtual machines between different vCenter Servers with no downtime.
- I want to migrate virtual machines with Veeam backup chain and backup jobs inherited.

[What I know]
- I want to migrate between different vCenter Servers with no downtime.

[What I want to know]
1. Can the backup chain and backup jobs be taken over by using Veeam's migration function? (Whether reconfiguration is necessary or not)
2. What is the expected downtime of virtual machines by using Veeam's migration function?


I would like to know if there are any other references that would be helpful.

Thank you in advance.
