Does NAKIVO Free Edition protect against ransomware?
Yes. Your data stays safe even from ransomware threats. The Free Edition lets you create immutable backups in local Linux-based repositories and use source-side encryption to prevent unauthorized changes. For even stronger resilience, upgrade to the Enterprise Editions to enable cloud immutability and backup malware scan.
Can I store backups in the cloud?
You can keep your data safe both locally and offsite to eliminate a single point of failure. To store Hyper-V backups in the cloud (Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Azure Blob and other S3-compatible platforms), on deduplication appliances or tape, upgrade to the Enterprise editions.
