The Virtual Server Agent (VSA) for Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV) provides IntelliSnap backups, which enable you to create point-in-time snapshots of virtual machine data. You can back up large numbers of virtual machines quickly, perform multiple backups each day, and recover full virtual machines.
This approach helps you manage snapshots in a unified way without depending on a single storage solution.
