SureBackup and Replica availability

[Johnson]

We are currently proposing to migrate a customer environment from VMware to Nutanix.
In the existing VMware environment, replication is configured (same site, different ESXi host).
SureBackup is configured as well.

I would like to check if the replication feature as well as SureBackup is available in Nutanix? As I heard, not all features of Veeam are available to Nutanix.

Hello,
both options are not available today in Veeam Availablity for Nutanix, but we count your request as feature request.

You can find an overview what's possible today here

Best regards,
Hannes

Oh no, this can be quite the deal breaker.
Any ETA on the availability of these functions for VBR on Nutanix?

[HannesK]

sorry, not really, it's too early to have any timeline for that.

Hello,
Nutanix still does not allow external datastores. SureBackup is based on Instant VM Recovery. But Nutanix does not allow 3rd party datastores (NFS, whatever). So we cannot do instant recovery -> no sure backup. I guess that's the same for every vendor.

Replication is built-in with Nutanix as far as I know.

Best regarsd,
Hannes
