Installing Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV
To install Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV and set up the backup infrastructure, perform the following steps:
- Configure Veeam Backup & Replication server: install Veeam Backup & Replication and configure the backup repository that will be used as a target for VM backups.
- Install Nutanix AHV Plug-in on the Veeam Backup & Replication server.
- Perform initial configuration for the cluster that you want to protect:
In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, add Nutanix AHV cluster to the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure.
In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, launch the deploy of AHV Backup Proxy on an AHV cluster where VMs that you plan to back up reside.
