Release Information for Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV 5 Cumulative Patches
Important Note
Due to a potential issue in Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV 5.0, which may negatively affect backup chains under specific circumstances, it is strongly recommended that you prepare a maintenance window to upgrade to Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV 5.1 as soon as you are able - prior versions (v4 and earlier) are not affected by this issue. See "Resolved Issues" for more details. Note that full disk reads will be instantiated during the first backup run following the upgrade, which may result in a longer backup duration.

Resolved Issues
