Data Protection Nutanix Acropolis Using Veeam Availability for Nutanix AHV (VAN)

As the time of writing this blog, Veeam has just released a new hypervisor support:- Nutanix Acropolis.


To protect Nutanix Acropolis, you need three components
1. Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 3a
2. Veeam Proxy Appliance. Refer to http://www.ms4u.info/2018/07/deploy-veeam-proxy-for-nutanix.html
3. Veeam Backup Repository (not supported scale out backup repository & dedup appliance).

Veeam Availability for Nutanix AHV requires a Veeam backup server and Veeam backup repository as a target for backups of AHV VMs. These components can be deployed via Veeam Backup & Replication.

Veeam Backup Server is require to configure backup copy, tape out and perform granular item level recovery.

To configure the policy on v1, you need to access to proxy web UI. Here is the screenshot of Veeam Virtual Appliance
