Maximize Data Protection with the Hyper-V Backup Software
Back up and recover Hyper-V VMs using the best practices
Application-consistent backups
Capture the entire VM during backup, including all disks and configuration files. The app-aware mode ensures that data in Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory and SQL is transactionally consistent.
Storage optimization
Perform incremental backups using Microsoft’s Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) technology to copy only the changed blocks of data. You can further reduce the size of your backups with swap data exclusion and compression.
Instant granular recovery
Restore individual files, folders and application objects from backups or backup copies without recovering the entire VM. Send the recovered items to the original or custom location in seconds.
Multiple recovery options
Instantly boot Hyper-V VMs directly from compressed backups without performing a full recovery to achieve near-instant RTOs. With Cross-Platform Recovery, you can restore Hyper-V machines as VMware vSphere VMs and vice versa.
Advanced backup tiering
Store backup copies onsite, offsite, in the cloud (Amazon, Wasabi, Azure, Backblaze and more), in S3-compatible storage, on NAS or tape. Hyper-V cloud backups provide data redundancy and eliminate a single point of failure.
Reliable backup verification
Enable instant verification after each successful backup to automatically test the recoverability of your VMs. The solution boots the machine’s OS and sends you a report or screenshot.
Ensure Ransomware Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V VMs
Backup immutability
Apply immutability to backups stored in Linux-based local repositories, on a NEC HYDRAstor deduplication appliance or in the cloud to ensure that the data cannot be modified or deleted by ransomware.
Malware scans
Scan backups for malware before recovering your data to prevent ransomware from spreading to your production environment.
Air-gapped storage
Create air-gapped backups by storing your data in detachable media such as tape and keep them offline to make sure that ransomware infections cannot reach them.
Source-side backup encryption
Encrypt backups before sending them over the network and store encrypted data locally or in the cloud with immutability enabled if needed.
Additional security measures
Prevent unauthorized access to your backup data using built-in security features like role-based access control, two-factor authentication and encryption (during transfer or in storage).
Comply with cybersecurity law
Stay aligned with NIS2, NIST, HIPAA and other security regulations. The NAKIVO solution delivers robust security measures, storage flexibility and fast recovery, allowing you to meet even the strictest cybersecurity requirements.
Improve backup performance and simplify e-discovery
Automated backup and recovery
Run data protection workflows automatically by scheduling them in the Calendar dashboard or linking jobs to run one after the other. You can also set up custom policies to protect VMs that fit specific criteria (name, size, location, etc).
Effective data transfer
Reduce network congestions and shorten backup windows with Network Acceleration. You can also apply Advanced Bandwidth Throttling to offload your production network during working hours.
Simplified e-discovery
Enable file system indexing to easily find individual files and application objects in backups and across repositories. You can quickly restore items to satisfy compliance requirements.

FAQ
How does backup for Hyper-V work?
This is an agentless solution, meaning that the solution creates backups at the virtualization level (rather than the guest OS level) and captures virtualization disk contents and configuration files. With this type of backup, you can also create incremental backups, saving only changed data volumes (increments) to the backup repository. To improve backup speed, the solution relies on Microsoft’s native Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) technology that automatically tracks all data changes.
Can I back up a Hyper-V cluster?
You can create Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine backups and replicas while easily adding entire clusters to your inventory with just a few clicks. Track Hyper-V VMs that migrate between cluster nodes to ensure that you always have their backups and/or replicas.
Can the solution be used by MSPs for BaaS?
The solution can be installed in multi-tenant mode. All Microsoft Hyper-V backup features are available in three MSP editions that are licensed per workload on a monthly or annual basis.
Can I protect mixed environments?
Absolutely. Along with Microsoft Hyper-V VM backup and recovery, you can protect:
Use Cross-Platform Recovery to recover VMs between Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere. You can also use Instant P2V to recover physical machines as VMware vSphere VMs.
How secure is the Hyper-V backup tool from NAKIVO?
Hyper-V backups from NAKIVO are secure and safe. NAKIVO offers a variety of tools to protect your backup data against ransomware, unauthorized access and other threats:
- Restrict access to backups and data protection activities using role-based access control and two-factor authentication.
- Store Hyper-V backups in ransomware-resilient immutable storage onsite or in the cloud.
- Source-side backup encryption, network and storage encryption options.
- Scan backups for malware before recovery.
