Performing Backup

With Veeam Backup & Replication, you can protect data with image-level backups. An image-level backup captures the whole image of the processed VM (including VM configuration, OS data, application data and so on) at a specific point in time.

To create backups, Veeam Plug-in for Nutanix AHV uses workers that retrieve VM data from the cluster and forward it to a backup repository in the native Veeam format. You can use the backup to restore the VM to the original Nutanix AHV environment or any other supported virtual environment, for example, VMware or Hyper-V. To create a VM backup, configure a backup job or perform a VeeamZIP operation.
