Deploy Fast
You can install our free VMware backup solution and get started with data protection tasks in under 2 minutes. The process of installation does not require you to access any user guides. NAKIVO Backup & Replication can be deployed however you want it – on Windows, Linux, NAS, as a VMware/Nutanix VA or AWS AMI.

Reliably Back Up
With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can perform incremental, image-based, application-aware VMware backups. Our software delivers outstanding backup performance, captures the entire VM (including all disks and configuration files), and backs up VMs in a transactionally consistent state.

Back Up to the Cloud
NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows you to back up your VMware VMs directly to a cloud server such as Amazon or Azure. The backup copy to cloud functionality introduces additional reliability to support your data protection efforts. With a valid backup copy stored offsite, you will always have the means for data recovery, even when the original backup is rendered unavailable.

Instantly Recover
Our free VMware backup solution enables you to perform both a full-scale recovery and granular restore. You can recover an entire VMware VM or bring back individual files or objects of various applications and databases such as MS Exchange, MS SQL, MS Active Directory, SharePoint, Oracle, etc. On top of that, you can even recover VMware backups into Hyper-V VMs and vice versa.

Boost Performance
NAKIVO Backup & Replication Free Edition delivers a remarkable backup performance. The solution utilizes native VMware CBT technology, LAN-free data transfer, and network acceleration, the combination of which can boost your VMware backup performance by up to 2X. For an even higher VMware backup speed, you can install the solution on a NAS device.

Verify Backups
Our free VMware backup solution can deliver you peace of mind by verifying the reliability of your VMware backups. You can instantly check their validity with the Screenshot Verification functionality. The product can display reports demonstrating that your VMs are bootable right in the UI; alternatively, you can have them sent to you via email.

Save Storage Space
Our free VMware backup solution takes care of your backups’ size, making sure they do not consume all available storage space. Aside from performing incremental backups, the software excludes swap data and transaction logs. Global deduplication and variable compression are also available in the product to help you save as much storage space as possible.

Added Simplicity
NAKIVO Backup & Replication’s web interface is simple and intuitive, driving high rates of user adoption. Our free VMware backup solution allows you to configure your first VMware backup job shortly after you complete the installation. The rest of the product is just as simple – you’re sure to get the hang of NAKIVO Backup & Replication Free Edition right away.
