Backing Up Configuration Settings

You can back up and restore the configuration database of Veeam Availability for Nutanix AHV. Periodic configuration backups reduce the risk of data loss and minimize the administrative overhead if any problem with the backup servers occurs.

During configuration backup, the proxy appliance exports data from the configuration database and saves it to your machine. If the proxy appliance fails for some reason, you can re-deploy the proxy appliance and quickly restore its configuration from the configuration backup file. For details, see Restoring Configuration Settings.
