Backup & Replication v10.10 Beta
Real-Time Replication for VMwareBETA
Near-zero downtime and data loss.
Create replicas of VMware vSphere VMs, including application data and configuration files, and keep them updated with the source VM as changes are made in real time. Achieve the shortest RTOs and RPOs of as low as 1 second.
Use the real-time replication functionality and failover to
replicas to:
- Ensure the availability of critical workloads and achieve zero downtime during a disaster or ransomware attack
- Minimize the cutover period and avoid the downtime associated with data migration

Real-Time Replication for VMwareBETA
Before proceeding with configuring a real-time replication job for a VM, ensure that the following prerequisites for the source and target hosts are met:
Source hosts.
Install the I/O Filter tool in the VMware host cluster (on the source host). For details, refer to the Installing I/O Filter page.
Note: To allow the I/O Filter to process the source VMs you want to replicate, create a VM storage policy and specify NAKIVO I/O filter as the provider within the policy. For details, refer to https://beta-helpcenter.nakivo.com/User-Guide/Content/Settings/Nodes/Configuring-Nodes/Installing-IO-Filter.htm#Creating.
Target hosts.
1. Deploy a NAKIVO Backup & Replication node (Transporter) as a VMware vSphere Appliance on the target ESXi host for the replica VM. If the target host is part of a host cluster, deploy the Transporter on at least one host in the cluster. The replica and Transporter should be located on the same datastore(s) so that the Transporter can operate replica disks in Hot Add mode. For details, refer to the
Deploying Transporter as VMware Appliance page.
2. To run real-time replication jobs to the target ESXi host, you need to install the Journal Service module on the VMware vSphere Appliance deployed in Step 1. For details, refer to the Installing the Journal Service page.
Create a VMware vSphere Real-Time Replication Job
- On the Jobs dashboard, click + > Real-Time Replication for VMwareBETA.
- The New Real-Time Replication VMwareBETA Job Wizard opens. Complete all the steps: Source, Destination, Networks, and Re-IP.
- On the Retention page, set the Journal history limit to 1 hour and, optionally, the Journal size limit to 1 GB.
- On the Options page, make sure the VMware vSphere Appliance node is chosen as the target transporter.
- Once you complete the wizard, run the Real-Time replication job.
- Wait until the initial real-time replication job run is completed. You will see an RPO value of 0 on the Virtual Machine widget.
- Add/change data on the source VM for 5 to 10 minutes until the RPO value exceeds 0 as shown in the Virtual Machines widget (under Manage).
- Create a Real-time replica failover job by clicking Recover > VMware Full Recovery > Real-Time Replica Failover Beta.
- On the Source page of the wizard, choose the recovery point you would like to revert the replica VM to.
- Run the failover job.
- After the job is completed, log in to the replica VM and verify that the changes made on the source VM are present on the replica VM.
Important: Use your business email for all stages of the beta test. For more information, refer to the Beta Program Terms & Conditions*. If you have any questions, contact the NAKIVO Support Team.
