NAKIVO Releases v11.1 with Enhanced Disaster Recovery and MSP Capabilities

This latest update adds 5 new languages to the interface, more Proxmox VE backup and recovery options, automated real-time replication, enhanced MSP direct connect and granular backups for physical machines.

Sparks, NV, United States – October 6, 2025

NAKIVO, a leading provider of backup, ransomware protection, and disaster recovery for virtual, physical, cloud, NAS and SaaS environments, announces the release of NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11.1.

The new version introduces a powerful set of features and enhancements designed to deliver disaster resilience with near-zero downtime and data loss across diverse IT environments—all while simplifying accessibility and MSP-tenant management.

Multilingual Interface: 5 New Languages

The latest 11.1 release of NAKIVO Backup & Replication now fully supports French, Italian, German, Polish and Chinese alongside English and Spanish. Customers can run backup jobs, automate disaster recovery, monitor virtual resources or simply restore data in the language they prefer.

Expanded Backup Capabilities for Proxmox VE

Building on its initial support for Proxmox VE in version 11, NAKIVO has delivered major functional enhancements in this 11.1 release. Businesses can now leverage true disaster resilience for their Proxmox VE environments—all without costly overhauls. This latest update introduces a suite of powerful features, including:

Instant recovery with Flash VM Boot for businesses to restore operations within seconds.
VM Replication for high availability and rapid failover during outages or corruption.
VM Template backup and recovery for fast, consistent deployment of pre-configured VMs.
Automated backup verification with reports and test-recovery screenshots to ensure recoverability.
Direct recovery of backups stored on tape devices without the need for a staging repository.
Log Truncation for Exchange and SQL Servers for efficient storage of log files.

MSP Direct Connect

Traditional connections between MSP infrastructure and client sites often require open ports on the tenant’s side.

The enhanced MSP Direct Connect eliminates the need for open ports on the client’s side. This introduces a tailored MSP-tenant connection framework where MSPs can streamline deployment and tenant onboarding with no complex network configurations needed.

All communication between the MSP Director and Client Transporter is encrypted, ensuring compliance with strict internal and external security standards. v11.1 also extends Direct Connect’s support to include Hyper-V and Proxmox VE alongside VMware and Windows/Linux physical machines to enable seamless service delivery across diverse environments.

Real-Time Replication for VMware

Now out of beta and fully released, the Real-Time Replication functionality enables customers to create replicas of VMware VMs and keep them updated with the source VM as changes are made in real time.

Setting up real-time replication is now simpler, as the solution automatically deploys the IO Filter and Journal Service, eliminating the need for manual setups and saving valuable time.

Additionally, customers can add a real-time replication failover action directly to the Site Recovery workflow to automate the failover process to the real-time VM replicas. Whenever needed, they can launch the Site Recovery job, which triggers an automatic failover to the real-time replicas. VM replicas can take over before anyone notices—ensuring zero data loss and zero human intervention, while maintaining “always-on” service availability. For added security, replicated data transmitted over unsecured WAN connections is encrypted to prevent interception or unauthorized access.

Granular Backup for Physical Machines

This new capability allows customers to select specific folders within a machine to back up. With v11.1, you can back up specific folders and volumes in addition to full physical Windows and Linux machines.

Granular backups can be stored anywhere: local, cloud, deduplication appliances, file shares and even tape with immutability, encryption, air-gapping and other cybersecurity features supported.

You can recover those backups to SMB/NFS shares, send via email, or download directly to your browser. This means that if something goes wrong, you can just restore that folder or volume without any extra hassle.

Advancing Resilience and Accessibility

“This release turns NAKIVO Backup & Replication into a core asset for businesses aiming to navigate the complexities of data protection and management,” said Bruce Talley, CEO of NAKIVO. “With an interface supporting 7 languages, streamlined MSP direct connect, and seamless recovery and failover automation, v11.1 puts easily-accessible data protection within immediate reach—no matter the environment. v11.1 truly builds on our 13 years of backup and disaster recovery innovations.”
