Optimize Data Protection
with NAKIVO’s Solution on NAS
Create a Multifunctional Backup Appliance
Once you install the NAKIVO solution on Synology NAS, you get a high-performance backup appliance capable of data backup, recovery, replication, deduplication, compression and ransomware protection. You can use the appliance to protect virtual, physical, cloud, SaaS and mixed environments.
Benefit from Multiple Recovery Options
NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows you to restore entire machines with the Flash VM Boot feature. You can permanently move a booted VM from NAS disks to the production environment. The solution also provides granular recovery for individual files and application objects to the original or a custom location.
Orchestrate Disaster Recovery Workflows
With the Site Recovery feature, you can create and automate disaster recovery (DR) workflows using the Synology NAS running NAKIVO Backup & Replication. Use VM replication, and create custom workflows that include failover, network mapping, custom scripts, source VM shutdown, failback, etc. Initiate preset workflows in any disaster scenario to meet the tightest recovery objectives and ensure availability. You can test customized DR workflows without disrupting your production network.
Enhance Backup Performance
Avoid limitations of SMB and NFS network protocols by writing backup data directly to NAS disks. Copy only the changed data blocks by performing incremental backups using native change tracking technologies. You can also optimize the use of network resources with LAN-Free Data Transfer, Network Acceleration and Advanced Bandwidth Throttling.
Send Backups to Different Destinations
Synology NAS can be used to store onsite backups that are separate from production environments. Additionally, you can send backup copies directly from NAS disks to different storage destinations offsite or in a private or public cloud like Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure and other S3-compatible platforms to eliminate a single point of failure. For long term storage of backup data, store backup copies on tape media.
Run Data Protection Tasks Automatically
Monitor all data protection activities from the Overview dashboard and automate routine workflows using different features. The Calendar dashboard helps you avoid overlaps and provides a convenient view of all scheduled data protection tasks. You can also automatically back up workloads based on specific criteria with Policy-Based Data Protection. In addition, you can set jobs to run one after the other using the job chaining feature.
Protect Data from Ransomware
Ensure ransomware resilience for data stored on Synology NAS by enabling backup immutability. You can also store backup copies offline in detached storage or on tape. Moreover, the NAKIVO solution provides advanced encryption and role-based access control to prevent unauthorized users from changing or deleting critical data.
Reduce Costs and Storage Consumption
A Synology NAS running the NAKIVO solution encompasses all the features you need to protect your environment in one data protection device. Moreover, you can apply data compression and deduplication, skip swap files, and exclude partitions and unused blocks during backup and replication workflows to further reduce the size of your backups and save on storage space.
