Near sync and backup showstopper | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
Using near sync replication in AOS 5.5 means that normal snapshots on VMs cannot be initiated by external backup tools like comtrade, rubrik



This is a bit of a showstopper. If we need an RPO of 15 minutes on AHV, we have to use nearsync - but then we can't backup VMs off the cluster



When will Nutanix resolve this rather major downside?
Thanks for the question @vStorage - maybe @MarkNijmeijer might be able to share some insights.
vStorage - Agree that this is a major disadvantage. It is on the roadmap to be addressed. Currently it's scheduled for the 5.5.2 release.
5.5.0.6 currently - whats generally time-frame on 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 in terms of months between?
Following up on this question. We have delivered this request as part of the AOS 5.9 release.
