Why Nutanix AHV and Veeam

Nutanix AHV ships with the hyperconverged platform at no hypervisor licence cost, which has made it a solid alternative to vSphere. Veeam protects it with a proxy appliance deployed on the cluster itself, using native Nutanix APIs.

Proxy appliance deployed on the cluster: backup traffic never leaves the Nutanix environment until it is shipped offsite.

New in 13.1: role-based access control, extended Web UI coverage and Instant Disk Recovery.

Granular file and application restore without bringing up the whole VM.

What you can do with Veeam

Protection capabilities available on Nutanix AHV in Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1.

backup

Agentless incremental backup

Forever-incremental copies using Nutanix CBT. Only changed blocks travel, shrinking the backup window and network usage.

bolt

Instant Recovery

Boot the machine straight from the repository in minutes, without waiting for a full restore. Targets: Nutanix AHV itself, vSphere, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE.

find_in_page

Granular restore

Recover a single file, a mailbox or a database table without bringing up the whole VM or restoring the entire backup.

apps

Application-aware processing

Consistent copies of SQL Server, Exchange, Active Directory, Oracle and PostgreSQL, with log truncation and point-in-time restore.

security

Malware scanning

Content analysis of the backup to spot dormant threats and locate the last clean point before restoring.

cloud_upload

Immutable offsite copy

Automatic shipping of restore points to our Madrid repository, with immutability and end-to-end encryption.

And the copy that saves you: offsite at EasyDataHost

Local backup handles accidental deletion. It does not handle fire, theft, or ransomware that reaches the backup console. That is why the copy of your Nutanix AHV environment leaves your infrastructure and lands in our Tier III+ Madrid data center.

lock

Real immutability

Once written, the copy cannot be modified or deleted until retention expires. Not even with compromised admin credentials.

key

End-to-end encryption

AES-256 in transit and at rest. You hold the keys: without them the data is unreadable, including to us.

How it works

1

Veeam protects your Nutanix AHV environment

Backup jobs run against your infrastructure and write to your local repository, on the window and retention you define.

2

A backup copy job does the rest

You add our repository as the secondary target. Veeam ships restore points automatically, incrementally and encrypted.

3

GFS retention and immutability

Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly per your policy. With immutability on, nobody can delete them early — you included.

4

You restore when you need to

Full VM, disk, file or application, straight from the offsite copy and without downloading the whole backup.

Frequently asked questions

How does Veeam integrate with a Nutanix cluster? expand_more
Through Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV, a proxy appliance deployed on the cluster and registered with your Veeam Backup & Replication server. It uses native Nutanix APIs to take snapshots and read changed blocks, with no agents inside the VMs.
Can I ship AHV backups to an offsite repository? expand_more
Yes. Once the proxy writes to your local repository, a backup copy job sends the restore points to our Madrid repository, with immutability and encryption. It is the same flow as for any other supported hypervisor.
Can I restore onto your infrastructure if I lose my Nutanix AHV? expand_more
Yes. Beyond the offsite repository, we can bring your workloads up on our infrastructure while you rebuild yours. That is what our DRaaS service covers, and it runs on the same offsite copy you already have.
