Free VM Backup and Replication
for VMware & Hyper-V
Get Started Fast
Faster than anything you have tried
It takes 1 click and under 60 seconds to install your new VM backup and replication solution. The rest of the product is that simple as well: because the Free Edition is so intuitive, you are already an expert.
With the Free Edition, you just need a few seconds to create a new ad hoc backup job and protect your live running VMs. The backup includes all VM disks and configuration files, so you'll have everything you need for a full recovery.
Back Up and Archive Ad Hoc
Locally, remotely, and to the cloud
With the Free Edition, you can back up and archive live running VMs ad hoc, whether to make a copy before changing a VM, save data for long-term storage, or to prevent unintentional data loss before VM decommissioning.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication supports live Exchange, Active Directory, MS SQL, Oracle, and other applications so all your backups are always consistent. You can back up locally over LAN, remotely over WAN, and even to AWS and Azure cloud storage solutions to keep your important backups offsite, out of harm's reach.

"With NAKIVO Backup & Replication on NAS, we were able to reduce our recovery time objective from a full day to a few minutes."
Oliver Sachse, IT Technician at Region Blekinge
"NAKIVO’s fast VM backup and VM replication keep our critical VMs running at all times. If VMware VMs would fail, we would only need a couple of minutes to recover, due to VM failover and failback."
Noel Peden, Applications Development Supervisor at Boise Cascade
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides us with ultimate speed, performance, and granularity, and eliminates the need to purchase any add-ons for cloud integration."
Tony Maynard, Manager of Information Technology at Charlotte Radiology
Save Storage Space
Built-in features are there to help
The amount of data that you manage increases on a daily basis, and so do your backups, occupying expensive and production-needed space. To reduce backup size, the Free Edition of NAKIVO Backup & Replication automatically skips unnecessary swap files and partitions, so they are not read, processed, transferred and stored in the backup repository. To further reduce backup size, the Free Edition automatically deduplicates backup data across the entire repository, keeping only unique blocks of data. The deduplicated blocks are then compressed to reduce space utilization even further. The combination of these data reduction technologies results in up to 30X less storage space needed for storing backups. The backups then occupy only a trivial amount of storage, yet are a saver when you need to restore your data.
Instantly Recover What You Need
At any time, and from anywhere
The Free Edition’s web interface enables managing all aspects of data protection at any time and from anywhere, even from a mobile device. Built specifically for virtualized environments, NAKIVO Backup & Replication Free Edition is designed to instantly recover your VMs, files, Exchange, SQL, and AD objects in the fastest and most efficient way. Should you need your VMs back, you can recover quickly and easily, without any disruptions to your business.
