Comprehensive Data Protection

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

Ransomware Protection and Recovery

Enable immutability for backup data stored on local disk, 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. Scan backups for malware before recovery.

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.

Instant Data Recovery

Instant granular recovery of files and application objects. Instant recovery of VMs and physical machines to virtual environments (P2V). Bare metal recovery of Windows and Linux physical machines.

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

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.

MSP-Ready for BaaS and DRaaS

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

Advanced Site Recovery

Automated disaster recovery workflows for planned or emergency failover, failback and datacenter migration with one click. Perform DR testing without disrupting production environments.

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:

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 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 IT Monitoring for VMware.

Ransomware Resilience

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

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. 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:

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.

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 and manage up to 1,000 isolated tenants within a single NAKIVO Backup & Replication deployment using the dedicated MSP Console. Tenants are MSP clients or different departments or branches in a large enterprise. 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 connect to the remote resources of your tenants, over a single port without 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.
