Backup from Storage Snapshots

Why Back Up from Storage Snapshots?

Data protection activities place a significant load on virtual production environments, especially when large volumes of VM data are processed. Unlike regular VM snapshots used to process data for backups, storage snapshots have less impact on production storage.

Use backup from storage snapshots to create agentless, image-based, incremental backups of VMware vSphere VMs hosted on NetApp and HPE devices.

In addition to being lighter on your production resources, using backup from storage snapshots allows you to create point-in-time copies of your machines more often, thus improving your recovery point objectives (RPOs). You can also reduce storage overhead and maintain business operations without interruptions, even during data protection activities.

Backup from NetApp Storage Snapshots

NetApp delivers unified data storage that allows you to run file, block and object workloads on-premise and in the cloud as a single operating system via a centralized control pane.

As an official NetApp partner, NAKIVO ensures seamless interoperability and compatibility between the NAKIVO and NetApp solutions so that you can create fast and efficient backups from snapshots of NetApp’s storage systems.

Backup from HPE Storage Snapshots

NAKIVO is a member of the HPE Partner Ready for Technology Partner Program. This means that the NAKIVO solution is compatible with HPE devices and seamlessly operates within HPE environments.

NAKIVO’s solution supports backup from snapshots of the following HPE devices:

3PAR — a highly available and scalable storage array platform
Nimble Storage — a hybrid storage array that combines flash storage with traditional spinning disks and has predictive analytics functionality
Primera — an enterprise storage array solution for mission-critical workloads
Alletra — a unified data platform for both block and file storage

“With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, the university saved time and money, while gaining peace of mind. I now spend the majority of my time not on backup administration, but on other IT-related tasks.”

Edwardson A. Pedragosa Jr., Network Administrator at the Asia-Pacific International University

“NAKIVO’s fast VM backup and VM replication keep our critical VMs running at all times. If our VMware VMs failed, we would only need a couple of minutes to recover with VM failover and failback.”

Noel Peden, Applications Development Supervisor at Boise Cascade

“With NAKIVO Backup & Replication installed on QNAP NAS, the backup is 2.5X faster! We found a professional solution that covers all our needs, saves money, and provides reliability.”

Mickaël Masquelin, IT Department Manager at the IEMN

“With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, every hour that we save on VM backup administration can be translated into cost savings. NAKIVO Backup & Replication is resource-efficient in terms of installation and configuration. NAKIVO Backup & Replication is just what we needed.”

Samuel Riley, IT Manager at MyoKardia

“In NAKIVO Backup & Replication, we found a stable VM backup solution that lets us back up VMs faster and recover VMs in minutes, which is extremely helpful in order to keep our business operations available at all times.”

Steven Schmidt, System Administrator at One World Direct
