1. Executive Summary
The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform is a highly resilient software-defined infrastructure
solution that natively converges scale-out storage and compute with built-in virtualization and
integrated management. The Nutanix solution leverages web-scale engineering and consumer-
grade design to deliver predictable performance, cloud-like infrastructure consumption, robust
security, and seamless application mobility for a broad range of enterprise applications. Nutanix
offers many built-in data protection capabilities to achieve your required recovery point objectives
(RPOs).
This technical note provides an overview of available virtual machine (VM) data protection
options when using AHV on Acropolis.
Data protection can be divided into the three major categories covered in this document:
• Instant recovery
• Backup and recovery
• Archive
The instant recovery and backup and recovery sections include both the creation of data restore
points and how to use them. The archive option only includes the creation of the data restore
points.
Nutanix constantly evolves and builds new services and integrations with third-party vendors. We
intend to update this document as additional VM data protection options for AHV are available.

3. Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform Overview

3.1. Nutanix Acropolis Overview

Nutanix delivers a web-scale, hyperconverged infrastructure solution purpose-built for
virtualization and cloud environments. This solution brings the performance and economic
benefits of web-scale architecture to the enterprise through the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud
Platform, which combines two product families—Nutanix Acropolis and Nutanix Prism.
Attributes of this solution include:
• Storage and compute resources hyperconverged on x86 or Power Architecture servers.
• System intelligence located in software.
• Data, metadata, and operations fully distributed across entire cluster of x86 or Power
Architecture servers.
• Self-healing to tolerate and adjust to component failures.
• API-based automation and rich analytics.
• Simplified one-click upgrade.
• Native file services for hosting user profiles.
• Native backup and disaster recovery solutions.
Nutanix Acropolis provides data services and can be broken down into three foundational
components: the Distributed Storage Fabric (DSF), the App Mobility Fabric (AMF), and AHV.
Prism furnishes one-click infrastructure management for virtual environments running on
Acropolis. Acropolis is hypervisor agnostic, supporting three third-party hypervisors—ESXi,
Hyper-V, and XenServer—in addition to the native Nutanix hypervisor, AHV.

3.2. Nutanix Acropolis Architecture

Acropolis does not rely on traditional SAN or NAS storage or expensive storage network
interconnects. It combines highly dense storage and server compute (CPU and RAM) into
a single platform building block. Each building block is based on industry-standard Power
Architecture or Intel processor technology and delivers a unified, scale-out, shared-nothing
architecture with no single points of failure.
The Nutanix solution has no LUNs to manage, no RAID groups to configure, and no complicated
storage multipathing to set up. All storage management is VM-centric, and the DSF optimizes
I/O at the VM virtual disk level. There is one shared pool of storage that includes flash-based
SSDs for high performance and HDDs for affordable capacity. The file system automatically tiers
data across different types of storage devices using intelligent data placement algorithms. These
algorithms make sure the most frequently used data is available in memory or in flash for optimal
performance. Organizations can also choose flash-only storage for the fastest possible storage
performance. The following figure illustrates the data I/O path for a write in a hybrid model (mix of
SSD and HDD disks).

 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

4. Data Protection
Data protection can be divided into three major categories, each fulfilling a specific purpose:
• Instant recovery
• Backup and recovery
• Archive

4.1. Instant Recovery

The instant recovery option provides a way to return rapidly to an exact time and state for both
VMs and Nutanix volume groups (VGs). There are two built-in methods available in AHV for
quickly bringing back VM data:
• On-demand VM instant recovery option.
• Protection domain VM instant recovery option. A protection domain is an administrator-defined
set of VMs scheduled for local Nutanix cluster backup and restore. A VM can be part of one
protection domain. Because a protection domain can be replicated to remote Nutanix clusters,
its name must be unique across the system.
Acropolis manages the instant recovery protection option by VM, VG, multiple VMs, multiple
VGs, or a mix of both VMs and VGs.
Those instant recovery methods can be managed via:
• Prism
• REST API
• Command line interface (CLI)
Both crash-consistent and application-consistent snapshots are available. Crash consistency is
available for both instant recovery options, and application-level consistency is available only for
the protection domain VM instant recovery option.
Because the system stores the data used to provide the instant recovery option in the same
physical infrastructure that hosts the VMs and VGs themselves, do not treat this option as a valid
fully functional backup and recovery solution.

 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

On-Demand VM Instant Recovery Option

The on-demand option allows users to take VM snapshots, restore snapshots, and clone a
new VM from an existing snapshot. It is helpful to be able to take a snapshot as needed before
starting potentially sensitive administrative tasks or cloning an existing VM.

Create an On-Demand VM Recovery Point

In Prism, you can manage on-demand VM instant recovery by selecting the VM view, then the
table view, then highlighting the VM for which you want to set a recovery point.
The following process outlines how to take a snapshot.
• Click Take Snapshot.

Figure 3: Take the Snapshot

• Give the snapshot a name and click Submit.

Figure 4: Name the Snapshot

4. Data Protection | 10
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

Use the On-Demand VM Recovery Point

To use the on-demand VM recovery point created in the steps above, go through the same
process: in Prism, select the VM view, then the table view, then highlight the VM you want to
recover and click the VM Snapshot tab.
The figure below presents the options available for each VM snapshot.

Figure 5: VM Snapshot Options

Information about the VM snapshot options:

• Details: Provide details about the VM configuration in terms of:
⁃ Snapshot creation time.
⁃ vCPUs.
⁃ Number of cores per vCPU.
⁃ Memory.
⁃ Disks.
⁃ Volume groups.
⁃ Network adapters (NICs).
• Clone: Create new VMs based on the snapshot. The following options are available:
⁃ Number of clones (default is one). If you are creating more than one clone, you can select a
“Starting Index Number.”
⁃ Name: Default is [VM name]-1, or “iperf1-1” if you were cloning the first VM in the Take the
Snapshot screenshot above.
⁃ vCPUs.
⁃ Number of cores per vCPU.
⁃ Memory.
⁃ Network adapters (NICs).
⁃ You cannot configure disks and volume groups during the clone operation.
• Restore: Restore the VM to the snapshot state.

4. Data Protection | 11
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

• Delete: Delete the snapshot and merge all changes into the original VM disk(s).

Protection Domain VM Data Instant Recovery Option

The protection domain instant recovery option provides a way to schedule VM, VG, or both
VM and VG snapshots. Nutanix has continued to improve on its snapshots by incorporating
lightweight snapshots (LWS) to provide near-sync replication. The LWS feature can achieve
an RPO of between four minutes and one minute by using markers instead of creating full
snapshots. If the system cannot fulfil the low RPO, Nutanix automatically switches to the vDisk
snapshot approach, then returns to LWS when possible.

Create a Protection Domain VM Data Recovery Option

In Prism, you can manage the protection domain instant recovery option by selecting the data
protection view, then the table view, then Async DR.
Create the protection domain using the following procedure:
• Give the protection domain a name, then click Create.

Figure 6: Create a Protection Domain

• Select the VMs to include in the protection domain and click Protect Selected Entities.

4. Data Protection | 12
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

Figure 7: Select VMs for the Protection Domain

• After adding the required VMs as Protected Entities, click Next.

Figure 8: Adding VMs as Protected Entities

4. Data Protection | 13
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

• You can use consistency groups (CGs) to organize VMs within a protection domain. The
default option is to have one VM per CG, but if you include multiple VMs in one CG, you
snapshot all of them at the same time in a crash-consistent manner and capture them all
in one snapshot. If you're using the application-consistent snapshot option, a CG can only
contain one VM. The available options when setting up a CG are:
⁃ Use Entity Name: This is the default option; it creates a CG based on the VM name.
⁃ Use an existing CG: Available only when the given protection domain already contains a
CG with at least one VM.
⁃ Create a new CG: Use this option when you don’t want the name of the CG to be the same
as the VM name.
⁃ Use application-consistent snapshots: You can use this selection to enable the protection
domain instant recovery option. This choice provides instant recovery capability by
capturing the VM data on disk, data in memory, and transactions in progress. As previously
mentioned, you can include a maximum of one VM in a CG when using the application-
consistent snapshot feature. When you’re not using application-consistent snapshots, the
snapshot is crash-consistent and includes VM data on disk. This configuration is suitable
for most situations because operating systems and applications can usually recover from a
crash-consistent state.

Note: The application-consistent option requires that you have Nutanix Guest Tools
(NGT) installed in the VMs. Windows-based VMs use the Nutanix Volume Shadow
Copy Service installed by the NGT, and Linux-based VMs have an option to run
quiesce scripts.

• Select the preferred protection domain schedule, including:

⁃ When to take the snapshot, how often it should be repeated (minute, hour, day, week,
month, and so on), what day of the week or month it should repeat, its start date and time,
and, if needed, its end date and time.
• Retention policy.

Figure 9: Protection Domain Schedule

Use the Protection Domain VM Data Recovery Option

There are two options available for using the protection VM and VG data:
1. Overwrite an existing VM or VG.
2. Create a new entity.
The procedure below outlines the restore process:
• In Prism, highlight the protection domain from which you need to recover your data. Navigate
to the data protection view, then the table view, then select Async DR. Select the protection
domain name and click the Local Snapshots tab, and you can see all available local
snapshots. In the figure below, there is one available local snapshot.

Figure 10: Select the Protection Domain for Recovery

4. Data Protection | 15
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

• Hover over or select the snapshot from which you need to restore data and click Restore.

Figure 11: Select the Snapshot for Recovery

• Select the appropriate entity and its corresponding action. In the example below, we are
creating a new entity (VM) named demo101.

Figure 12: Restore Snapshot Screen

• Click OK.

4.2. Backup and Recovery

There are several options available to provide backup and recovery for AHV-based VMs.

4. Data Protection | 16
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

It is very important to understand that a functional backup and recovery concept requires that
you ship all the data you need for recovery into a physically separate location. You can have no
dependencies to the original system, because a rigorous backup and recovery plan must assume
a complete loss of this system.
The key element of the backup and restore option is that we do not store the backed-up data in
the physical infrastructure where the protected VM runs.

Third-Party In-Guest Backup and Restore Agents

The in-guest backup and restore agent was the most common option for performing backups of
traditional physical servers before enterprises adopted virtualization. The in-guest backup and
restore agent is still a valid option, and you can use it in multiple scenarios, including:
• When it’s required to meet internal or customer recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery
time objectives (RTOs), where RTO often is achieved with local or remote instant recovery
options.
• When other backup and recovery options, such as an additional Nutanix cluster, a Commvault
backup and restore environment, or access to Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services
(AWS), are not available.
• When you don’t want to change backup and restore vendors, or you want to avoid having one
solution for physical servers and a separate solution for virtualized servers.
• When the backup source must be able to initiate the backup process.
An in-guest backup agent solution can require additional network design considerations to allow
delivery of the required service level agreements.

Backup with Protection Domain VM Data Instant Recovery

Backups using the protection domain VM data instant recovery option described above move the
backed up data to a separate physical infrastructure.
In Prism, you can manage the protection domain remote site by navigating to the data protection
view, then the table view, and clicking Remote Site.
There are two primary remote targets available: a physical cluster and the cloud.

Physical Cluster as Remote Target

You can use this option as either:
1. A backup target, meaning that the VMs never run on the target Nutanix cluster. VMs can be
restored to the original cluster or to a newly installed Nutanix cluster.
2. A disaster recovery target, meaning that the VMs can run on the target Nutanix cluster. In
addition, you can also restore the VMs to the original or to a newly installed Nutanix cluster.

4. Data Protection | 17
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

Configuring the remote site to be a physical cluster requires the following settings:
• Name: Remote site Nutanix cluster.
• Enable proxy: Use this option if you must reach the remote CVM(s) through a proxy server.
• Backup: Use the remote site as a backup target only. This option does not let you run VMs on
the target Nutanix cluster.
• Disaster recovery: You can use the target Nutanix cluster as a backup target that can also run
the VMs.
• Address: Enter the VIP address of the remote Nutanix cluster or each individual remote
Nutanix CVM IP.

Figure 13: Configuring the Remote Site

• Enable bandwidth throttling: If you need to set a bandwidth limit (specified in MBps), you can
use the following policy configuration options:
⁃ All day.
⁃ Specific time, based on the Nutanix cluster’s time zone.
⁃ Repeat: what day(s) of the week should this limit be applied.
• Compression on Wire: Compresses data before sending it to the remote site and
uncompresses it on the target remote site. Uses additional CPU resources.
• Network Mapping: Use this option when you need to place VMs on a different network at the
remote Nutanix cluster.
• vStore Name Mapping: Selects the source and destination vStores or Nutanix containers to
include in the replication.
Make sure to configure the local Nutanix cluster as a remote site on the remote Nutanix cluster.

4. Data Protection | 18
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

Cloud Options for Remote Targets

The two primary options for using the cloud as a remote replication target are currently Microsoft
Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
You can use Azure as a remote replication target by setting the remote site configuration to
Cloud. The configuration process automatically creates a Nutanix cluster with one CVM. The
CVM has a 100 TB capacity, and the data is stored on Azure Blob storage, using native Nutanix
replication between CVMs in the local Nutanix cluster and the remote CVM in Azure. This is a
backup option, so you must restore the data to a Nutanix platform before using the VMs when
you need the backups.
Before you can use the Azure cloud option, complete the following:
• Create a dedicated Azure account.
• Create a .cer file and upload it to the Azure management portal.
• Create a .pem file and upload it to the Nutanix cluster.
Nutanix recommends the “Use VPN Connection” access type for production workloads. If
needed, you can use the “SSH Tunnel” access type for nonproduction workloads.
You can use AWS as a remote replication target by setting the remote site configuration to
Cloud. The configuration process automatically creates a Nutanix cluster with one CVM. The
CVM has a 100 TB capacity, the VM data is stored on Amazon S3, and Amazon Elastic Block
Store (EBS) stores metadata. The configuration process also defines AWS as a remote cloud
option. As in the Azure option, AWS uses native Nutanix replication between CVMs in the local
Nutanix cluster and the remote CVM in AWS. This is a backup option, so you must restore the
data to a Nutanix platform before using the VMs when you need the backups.
Before you can use the AWS cloud option, configure the following:
• A dedicated AWS account with Managed Policy Administrator Access.
• Access key.
• Shared access key.
Nutanix recommends the “Use VPN Connection” access type for production workloads. If
needed, you can use the “SSH Tunnel” access type for nonproduction workloads.

Third-Party Backup and Restore Solutions with AHV Integration

Nutanix currently has a strong partnership with multiple backup and restore vendors that provide
tight backup and restore integration, eliminating the need for specific in-guest backup and restore
agents.

hyperconvergence to secondary storage. Cohesity DataProtect integrates with Nutanix AOS,
Prism, and AHV.
Cohesity converges backup software, replication, and target storage in one unified solution to
provide a fast, simple, efficient, and reliable data protection solution.

Figure 14: Cohesity Dashboard

Key Takeaways:
• To perform quick backups that make efficient use of space and network resources, Cohesity
uses Nutanix Acropolis Block Services (ABS) and Nutanix REST API v3 to interact with
Nutanix changed region tracking (CRT) and perform Nutanix snapshots.
• Cohesity uses a temporary Nutanix VG to perform backup and restore operations.
• Instant Mass Restore provides instant recovery for any number of VMs to any point in time
with fully hydrated application-consistent snapshots.
• Cohesity improves storage efficiency with global variable-length deduplication and
compression.
• Cohesity integrates with the leading public clouds for long-term archiving, tiering, and
replication.
• Cohesity automates data protection and recovery by assigning SLA policies to VMs or groups
of VMs.

Comtrade HYCU
Comtrade Software has purpose-built the HYCU data protection solution for the Nutanix
enterprise cloud architecture. HYCU requires minimal system resources and can run on the
Nutanix infrastructure.

Figure 15: Nutanix and HYCU Setup

HYCU is a software-only solution that complements the capabilities built into Nutanix AOS,
making application backup and recovery of Nutanix AHV environments a simple service
extension to the Nutanix platform.

Figure 16: HYCU Dashboard

Key takeaways:
• HYCU uses Nutanix REST API v3 to interact with Nutanix changed region tracking (CRT) and
perform Nutanix snapshots before providing a space- and network-efficient backup.

4. Data Protection | 21
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

• HYCU uses Nutanix intelligent snapshots for rapid recovery, eliminating the need for separate
servers to speed up the process.
• HYCU can use backup targets that take advantage of industry-standard protocols like NFS,
SMB, and iSCSI in addition to AWS, Azure, any S3-compliant storage, and Nutanix clusters.
• HYCU provides self-service backup and recovery to complement the Nutanix self-service
capability.
• To back up a VM or application in HYCU, apply a service-level objective-driven policy of your
choice on that VM or application.
• The HYCU restore operation provides file-level as well as application-specific granularity.

Commvault
The Commvault integration with Nutanix uses the following components:
• CommServe
• MediaAgent
• Virtual Server Agent (VSA)
The VSA component—one per Nutanix node—resides in the Nutanix infrastructure with the
protected VMs. Host the CommServe and MediaAgent components in a separate Nutanix
infrastructure or as standalone physical components.
The figure below outlines a Nutanix and Commvault setup using the approach of having a
production Nutanix cluster and a separate Nutanix cluster where you only store backups.

Figure 17: Nutanix and Commvault Setup

There are several implementation options for a Nutanix and Commvault solution, including:
• Separate backup and production Nutanix clusters, where the backup cluster only stores
backed up data.

4. Data Protection | 22
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

• Separate backup and production Nutanix clusters, where the backup cluster both stores
backed up data and hosts running VMs.
• Physical Commvault backup infrastructure.
Key takeaways:
• Backups with both streaming and IntelliSnap support are available. IntelliSnap enables you to
create point-in-time snapshots of VM data. You can back up large numbers of VMs quickly,
perform multiple backups each day, and recover full VMs.
• Commvault offers both catalog and index snapshots, enabling policy-based movement to
media.
• Deduplication (including source-side deduplication) reduces the bandwidth requirement for
secondary copies and speeds up the overall backup process.
• Full, incremental, differential, or synthetic full backups of VMs are possible.

Rubrik
Rubrik provides end-to-end data management for Nutanix, giving users secure access to data
instantly, automating protection policies, and orchestrating data across multicloud environments.
Both Rubrik and Nutanix use a web-scale approach, so you can scale as you go, thus reducing
your datacenter footprint.

Figure 18: Nutanix and Rubrik Integration

The Rubrik dashboard is intuitive, making it easy to get started and perform daily operations. This
intuitive approach is a perfect match to the Nutanix Prism UI.

4. Data Protection | 23
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

Figure 19: Rubrik Dashboard

Key takeaways:
• To perform quick backups that make efficient use of space and network resources, Rubrik
uses Nutanix Acropolis Block Services (ABS) and Nutanix REST API v3 to interact with
Nutanix changed region tracking (CRT) and perform Nutanix snapshots.
• Rubrik uses a temporary Nutanix VG to perform backup and restore operations.
• To back up a VM, apply a service level agreement (SLA) policy to or define an SLA policy for
the cluster or the VM.
• You can set automatic protection for new VMs.
• The Rubrik restore operation provides file browse and download capabilities.

4.3. Archive
When we talk about archiving data, the term usually refers to one of the following situations:
• Keeping data that is rarely used in an application or system for long time—for example, old
documents in a file server or old emails in an email system.
• Sending data from the backup and recovery system to external media that is stored at a
remote location or in a fire zone different from that of the physical location of the backup
system.
If you must send data to a non-Nutanix infrastructure or other media storing the backup, the valid
options are in-guest backup and restore agents as well as Commvault.
The system typically moves data to external targets when:

4. Data Protection | 24
 Data Protection for AHV-Based VMs

• RTO requirements can be days or longer.

• Data must be accessible for multiple years. The process for making the data available can
vary, but a common scenario could include these steps:
⁃ Import data from the archive media to the backup and recovery system.
⁃ Recover data from the backup and restore system to the application infrastructure (for
example, a VM).
