Windows Server Backup Software Features
Incremental Windows Server Backup
Enable NAKIVO’s change tracking technology to create incremental block-level Windows server backups. With only changed data blocks transferred to a backup repository, you can shorten backup windows, save storage space and accommodate more recovery points.

Ransomware-Resilient Backups
Protect backups from modification by ransomware in immutable local Linux-based repositories and public clouds (Amazon S3, Wasabi, Azure Blob and Backblaze B2). You can also send Windows server backups to tape for long-term air-gapped storage.
Backup Tiering
Backup data tiering is essential for applying the 3-2-1 backup rule and ensuring availability for the most critical data. Send Windows server backups to NAS, a public cloud (Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2 or Azure Blob) and tape to avoid a single point of failure. Use Job Chaining to automate backup data tiering.
Instant Granular Recovery
Instantly recover files and application objects from physical server backups. Items can be recovered to the original server or a new location and are usable as soon as they’re recovered.
Consistent Windows File Server Backup
Use the app-aware mode for consistent backups of file servers, applications and databases. Supported platforms are:
Flexible P2V Recovery
When a server goes down, restore workloads from Windows server backups as virtual machines. Immediately boot VMware vSphere VMs directly from server backups to maintain uninterrupted workflows.
Enhanced Security
Enable two-factor authentication and configure role-based access control (RBAC) to apply the principle of least privilege and avoid unauthorized access. Protect your data even more with in-flight and at-rest encryption (over WAN or in the repository).
Automation
For large environments with hundreds of critical physical and virtual machines, automation saves time and prevents data protection gaps. Set up custom policies to automatically protect machines that match your rules.
Easy Scheduling
To avoid overlaps and gain complete visibility into data protection activities, use the Calendar dashboard to schedule backups and view all past, ongoing and future activities.
