Why Choose NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a complete backup, ransomware recovery and disaster recovery solution for virtual, physical, cloud and SaaS environments. The solution delivers better performance, reliability and administration at a better price.

Comprehensive Data Protection

Comprehensive Data Protection

Incremental, application-aware backup and instant recovery for virtual, physical, cloud and SaaS environments from a centralized web interface.

Ransomware Protection and Recovery

Ransomware Protection and Recovery

Enable immutability for backup data stored in public clouds (Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, Azure Blob Storage), other S3-compatible object storage and local Linux-based repositories to avoid accidental deletions and encryption by ransomware. Recover critical data quickly and reliably without paying the ransom.

Increased Reliability

Increased Reliability

Avoid a single point of failure by storing backups and backup copies offsite, on tape, in public clouds and in S3-compatible object storage. Automation of backup, backup copy and recovery tasks with policy rules and chained sequences. Instant verification of VM backups and replicas. Non-disruptive disaster recovery testing.

Instant Data Recovery

Instant Data Recovery

Instant granular restores of VMs, files and application objects, even across platforms. Instantly recover physical machines from backups as VMware vSphere VMs or perform safe and reliable physical-to-virtual migrations.

Storage Space Savings

Storage Space Savings

Global data deduplication, adjustable backup compression, automated exclusion of swap data and unused blocks, support for deduplication appliances such as EMC Data Domain, NEC HYDRAstor, HPE StoreOnce and others.

Optimized Backup Performance

Optimized Backup Performance

Incremental backup with native change tracking technologies. LAN-free data transfer and network acceleration features. Up to 2 times better performance when installed on a NAS device. Lower snapshot overhead with backup from storage snapshots and with backup copy and replication from backup.

MSP-Ready for BaaS and DRaaS

MSP-Ready for BaaS and DRaaS

Multi-tenant mode for MSPs to deliver backup as a service (BaaS) and disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS). Manage the data protection infrastructures of local and remote tenants from a centralized MSP console. Access client environments over a secure port, without the need for a VPN connection.

Advanced Site Recovery

Advanced Site Recovery

Automated disaster recovery workflows for planned or emergency failover, failback and datacenter migration with one click.

VM Backup Appliance Based on NAS

NAKIVO Backup & Replication can be installed on one of the supported NAS servers to create an all-in-one backup appliance, delivering hyperconverged data protection and business service availability for SMB data centers and enterprise edge computing branch offices.

Highlights

Robust Protection

NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides centralized, reliable backup for various environments and platforms:

  • VMware vSphere (Including vSphere 8)
  • VMware Cloud Director
  • Microsoft Hyper-V
  • Nutanix AHV
  • Amazon EC2
  • Linux/Windows physical servers and workstations
  • SMB (CIFS)/NFS file shares
  • Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online and Teams)
  • Oracle Database via RMAN

Keep backups and backup copies on-premises, offsite, on tape, in a public cloud, or in S3-compatible storage to avoid a single point of failure. Fully automate core data protection tasks such as backup, backup copy and replication with policy-based jobs and job chaining. Track CPU, RAM, disk and datastore disk usage of your VMware vSphere infrastructure from a single dashboard with VMware Monitoring.

Ransomware Resilience

NAKIVO Backup & Replication has extensive functionality for protecting backup data against ransomware infections:

  • Create immutable recovery points in public clouds (Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Azure Blob Storage), other S3-compatible object storage and local Linux-based repositories to protect backup data against accidental deletions and encryption by ransomware.
  • Deploy the solution as a pre-configured VA or AMI and enable immutability for backups sent to a built-in Linux-based repository.
  • Keep your backups air-gapped by storing them on tape and taking other backup storage devices offline, thereby making them inaccessible to ransomware.
  • Create VM replicas for automated failover and disaster recovery orchestration.

Outstanding Performance

NAKIVO Backup & Replication delivers the highest levels of performance for backup, replication and recovery while preventing your backup operations from consuming all of the available bandwidth. With Advanced Bandwidth Throttling, you can set global or per-job rules to limit bandwidth consumption, offloading busy networks and speeding up business-critical applications. LAN-Free Data Transfer and Network Acceleration enable up to 50% network load reduction and up to 2 times higher data transfer speeds.

Near-Instant Recovery

NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows you to easily restore VMs, files and application objects directly from backups:

  • With Instant File Recovery to Source and Instant Object Recovery for Microsoft Exchange Server, SQL Server and Active Directory you can recover files/objects to the original or a custom location.
  • Use Flash VM Boot to quickly start VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V VMs from backups.
  • For reliable protection of multi-hypervisor environments, NAKIVO Backup & Replication includes Cross-Platform Recovery that enables easy export and recovery of VM backups across virtualization platforms.
  • Restore Windows/Linux physical machines from backups as VMware vSphere VMs with physical-to-virtual (P2V recovery).

Highly Reliable Data Protection

Store backups and backup copies locally and offsite following the 3-2-1 backup rule. NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows you to create backups in the cloud and copy backups to tape quickly and seamlessly for long-term storage or archiving. With native backup to tape, you can create air-gapped backups, completely isolated from the production environment, protecting them against ransomware and cyberattacks.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication can near-instantly verify your VM backups and replicas right after the job completion. Perform self-backups to keep the system configuration safe (including inventory, jobs, schedules, preferences, etc.). With role-based access control (RBAC), you can assign unique sets of permissions to local or Active Directory users, improving visibility and control over your data protection activities.

Disaster Recovery Orchestration

Site Recovery allows you to create automated disaster recovery (DR) workflows and perform scheduled DR testing without disrupting the production environment. Once a recovery workflow is set up, you can perform planned failover, emergency failover, failback and data center migration with just one click.

Custom recovery workflows can include steps for graceful shutdown of source VMs, final VM replication, replica VM re-IP according to predefined rules, network mapping, staged power-on of replica VMs, custom scripting, email notifications, etc. Create a single recovery workflow for an entire organization or multiple workflows for individual departments or branch offices.

Powerful Multi-Tenancy for MSPs and Enterprises

Multi-tenancy allows you to create, manage and monitor up to 1,000 isolated tenants within a single deployment of NAKIVO Backup & Replication. Tenants are MSP clients or different departments or branches in a large enterprise. In addition to creating local tenants, you can add and manage standalone deployments of NAKIVO Backup & Replication as remote tenants within the same centralized interface. Tenants can use the Self-Service Portal to perform backup, replication and recovery jobs while being isolated from each other’s environments. This feature offers flexible role-based access control (RBAC) and allows you to allocate resources to tenants. With the Direct Connect feature, you can securely connect to your tenants’ environments over a single port without the need for a VPN connection.

Efficient Data Size Reduction

By default, all backup jobs are incremental and transfer only changed data, which helps save space in the target repository. NAKIVO Backup & Replication can deduplicate backups and compress each data block to minimize the amount of occupied space. You can exclude unnecessary swap data and unused blocks automatically during backups. Along with these features that deliver up to 10 times reduction in storage footprint, NAKIVO Backup & Replication supports industry-standard deduplication appliances such as NEC HYDRAstor, Dell EMC Data Domain and HPE StoreOnce, allowing for enterprise-grade deduplication ratios.
