NetBackup introduces Accelerator support for Nutanix AHV through the upcoming Nutanix AHV plug-in

Starting with the 8.2 version, NetBackup introduces a new policy type called Hypervisor. The Hypervisor policy type lets you protect hyper converged systems and hypervisors like Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV) or Red Hat Virtualization (RHV).

The Hypervisor policy leverages several existing NetBackup features to protect the hypervisor and the virtualization workloads. For example, Accelerator for Hypervisor using the hypervisor change block tracking capabilities.

You can use the Hypervisor policy for Nutanix AHV along with accelerator support with the upcoming plug-in.

You can get more information through the upcoming NetBackup for AHV Administrator's Guide. The plug-in and the guide will be available shortly after the release of NetBackup 8.2.
