Leading Nutanix AHV Backup Solution

With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you gain direct access to a full range of features for reducing backup size, enhancing performance and simplifying administration. These features can drastically save time and resources and eliminate the complexities of data protection for virtual, physical and mixed environments. Moreover, you can use all the capabilities of NAKIVO Backup & Replication and create backup and recovery tasks directly from a centralized web-based interface that you can access from anywhere and at any time.

With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can rest assured that your data is available for recovery in a range of data loss incidents for improved RTOs and RPOs. In case of unexpected system failure, you can recover the entire Nutanix AHV VM to its previous state or to an earlier point in time to its original location or an alternative one, thus reducing downtime. The recovered VM includes all the relevant data, including configuration, OS, applications and system state. Also, you can instantly recover specific files or objects without having to recover the entire VM first. This granular recovery feature for app objects supports Microsoft apps like Active Directory, Exchange Server and SQL Server.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication enables you to easily manage the data protection tasks of your Nutanix AHV environment through a simple web-based interface. While the Calendar dashboard offers a bird’s eye view of your past, current and future scheduled backup jobs, so you can avoid overlaps and prevent network bottlenecks. With Global Search, you can quickly find and retrieve any required item by simply using its name. Furthermore, you can also add multiple schedules to a single backup job based on your needs with the flexible job scheduler.

Immutability ensures data integrity against alteration, deletion, ransomware encryption and other cyber threats. With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can make Nutanix AHV backups and backup copies sent to a Linux-based local repository immutable for as long as necessary to make sure they are recoverable in the event of a ransomware attack. No one except the root user can lift immutability for local backups. You can also make Nutanix AHV backups and backup copies stored in Amazon S3 buckets immutable with S3 Object Lock. You can apply immutability to your backup repository for a specified duration to make sure no one can modify or encrypt your backups.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication uses multiple data reduction techniques to decrease the size of your Nutanix AHV backups. With the Nutanix Changed Regions Tracking (CRT) technology integration, NAKIVO Backup & Replication identifies the data blocks that have changed since the previous backup job and transfers only those new blocks to the backup repository. The solution can further reduce the data footprint by deduplicating all Nutanix AHV VM backups across the entire backup repository to ensure that only unique data is saved. The deduplicated blocks can then be compressed, allowing for significant space savings and hence reducing storage costs.

Backing up your Nutanix AHV VMs to multiple destinations adds an extra layer of protection to your backup strategy. NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides various onsite and offsite storage targets to meet different business needs and budgets. You can store backups and backup copies on local storage, CIFS/NFS shares or deduplication appliances for fast restores. You can send backups and backup copies to public clouds, such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure or Wasabi, in case your primary copy gets lost or corrupted or to tape for compliance requirements as well as archival needs.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers advanced security features to ensure your backups remain secure at all times. Use Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to create user roles and assign specific access permissions to each of them to deny unauthorized access to the solution. For an added layer of security, you can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to ensure no one can tamper with your Nutanix AHV backup and recovery jobs. Moreover, NAKIVO Backup & Replication supports the AES 256 encryption standard for encrypting data in-flight and can encrypt at-rest data.
