Rehydrate Your Esxi Backups Directly To Nutanix AHV With New 'Easy Button' Solution
Veeam, March 26,2026
Sometimes it doesn't make sense to reformat your entire data estate just to migrate from, say, VMware ESXi to Nutanix AHV. For example, you may have years of data backed up by Veeam while your applications run on VMware ESXi infrastructure in support of your regulatory/compliance solution. There's just no getting out of it.
However, most of those backups will never be rehydrated into a production environment. In fact, anecdotally, many IT admins report that most restore operations use backups less than a week old, with only a small share coming from those older than one month. As a result, many backups simply age out under your retention policy - or, depending on industry requirements, are stored indefinitely - which consumes storage and drives up costs.
