Restoring to Nutanix AHV

Important

Restore to Nutanix AHV can be performed only using backup files stored on backup repositories for which you have specified a Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) key associated with the service account that is used to access the repository. To learn how to specify credentials for repositories, see sections Creating New Repositories and Connecting to Existing Appliances.

Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to restore VM instances from image-level backups created with Veeam Backup for Google Cloud to Nutanix AHV as Nutanix AHV VMs. You can restore VM instances to any available restore point. For more information, see the Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV User Guide, section Performing Restore.

Before you start the restore operation:

Configure the backup infrastructure as described in the Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV User Guide, section Deployment.

If you restore VM instances from standard backups, make sure that these backups have been copied to an on-premises backup repository as described in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Creating Backup Copy Jobs for VMs and Physical Machines.

If you restore VM instances from backups copied to the archive access tier of a scale-out backup repository, make sure to retrieve these backups from archive as described in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Retrieving Backup Files.

To restore a VM instance to a Nutanix AHV cluster, do the following:

In the Veeam Backup & Replication console, open the Home view.
Navigate to Backups > Disk (Copy).
Expand the backup policy that protects a VM instance that you want to restore, select the necessary instance and click Entire VM on the ribbon.

Complete the Restore to Nutanix AHV wizard as described in the Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV User Guide, section Restoring VMs Using Veeam Backup & Replication Console.
