Exporting VM Disk Content as Virtual Disks

You can restore VM disks from backups of Nutanix AHV VMs and convert them to disks of the VMDK, VHD or VHDX format. You can store the exported disks locally on any server added to the backup infrastructure. You can also store the exported disks on a datastore connected to the ESX(i) host. After the disk export, you can mount the exported disk to any VM in the virtual infrastructure.

To export a VM disk:

1. In the Veeam Backup & Replication UI, open the Home view.
2. In the inventory pane, under the Backups node select Disk.
3. In the working area, expand the necessary backup node, right-click the VM whose disk you want to restore and select Export disk contents as virtual disks and follow the steps of the Export Disk wizard. For more information, see Exporting Disks.
