Reliable Data Protection with Proxmox VE Backup Software by NAKIVO

Agentless Backups

Directly back up Proxmox VMs and VM templates without installing agents on each machine. The NAKIVO solution seamlessly integrates and is fully compatible with the Proxmox virtual infrastructure, allowing you to run image-based, app-aware backups.

Fast Incremental Backups

Copy only the changed data blocks (increments) using Proxmox native change tracking technologies and automatically truncate logs and exclude swap data to improve backup speed and save storage space.

Multiple Backup Targets

Achieve efficient backup tiering by storing backups and backup copies onsite, offsite, to public clouds, S3-compatible storage, NAS, deduplication appliances or tape.

Automated VM Verification

Ensure that Proxmox VM backups are recoverable and functional by enabling automated verification. The NAKIVO solution instantly boots VMs from backup and sends you the report after completion.

Flexible Recovery Options

Ensure minimal downtime and seamless business continuity with instant recovery. Boot VMs directly from backups in seconds or quickly restore individual files, folders and application objects without recovering the entire machine.

Direct Recovery from Tape

Gain an additional layer of flexibility for your disaster recovery strategy. Directly recover Proxmox VMs and VM templates from tape to improve recovery point objectives.

Proxmox VM Replication

Ensure the tightest recovery objectives with VM replication to another host. Replicate directly from backups to save time and resources and quickly switch to a replica in case of a disaster.

Immutable Backups

Enable immutability for backups stored in Linux-based local repositories, in the cloud or on HYDRAstor deduplication appliances to prevent data modification or deletion by ransomware.

Air-Gapped Backups

Store Proxmox backups and backup copies offline on tape or detachable devices like USB drives and NAS to prevent unauthorized access and preserve a clean data copy to recover from.

Advanced Security Measures

Enable role-based access control, two-factor authentication and multi-layered backup encryption at source, in transit or at rest to ensure ultimate protection from unauthorized access.

Low-Maintenance Administration

Schedule backups via the Calendar dashboard to avoid overlaps and configure bandwidth rules to prevent network congestion during peak hours. Easily locate items and monitor data protection activities via a web-based dashboard.

Effortless Scalability

The NAKIVO solution supports virtual, physical, cloud and SaaS workloads to seamlessly protect mixed and hybrid infrastructures. Scale backup storage by combining various repositories into a single pool to prevent storage failures and capacity issues.
