Version of the NetBackup master server or media server and the NetBackup client on the backup host require 8.1 or later.

Veritas recommends that you configure a NetBackup media server as a backup host.

Linux is the required operating system of the backup host.

NetBackup for Nutanix AHV supports only one backup host for each backup policy.

To backup other hypervisors that run on a Nutanix Acropolis cluster, use a backup policy specific to that hypervisor. For example, to backup VMware ESX on a Nutanix Acropolis cluster, use a VMware policy. Similarly, to backup Hyper-V on a Nutanix Acropolis cluster, use a Hyper-V policy.

When you specify the backup selections for a BigData policy for the Acropolis cluster, provide the following parameters:

The parameters - Application_Type, Application_Server, and Backup_Host are not case sensitive. However, their values are case-sensitive.

When you provide multiple entries for the Application_Type, or Application_Server, only the first valid entry is considered and the rest are ignored. However, providing multiple entries for the Backup_Host parameter is not supported.

Policy validation is not conducted for the policies that are created using the Policy Configuration Wizard.

You cannot backup two or more virtual machines with the same name. Each virtual machine must have a unique name.

The restore operation for a partially successful backup is currently not supported.

NetBackup for AHV cannot backup the virtual machines that have volume groups attached.
