Seamless Backup Tiering
Store backups onsite for quick recovery and send backup copies to cloud storage like Backblaze B2 to ensure data recoverability if the primary backup is not available. The job chaining feature allows you to automatically create backup copies and send them to different offsite repositories.
Automated Workflows
Automate your data protection activities to avoid retention policy gaps and reduce manual tasks. Create custom schedules that fit your business requirements using the Calendar dashboard. Set rules with the Policy-Based Data Protection functionality to automatically protect machines that match your selected criteria.
Robust Ransomware Protection
Make backups stored in Backblaze B2 immutable to prevent modification or encryption by ransomware. Backup immutability uses the write-once-read-many (WORM) technology to lock recovery points for a specified period and cannot be lifted or shortened by any user.
Along with immutability, set role-based access control and multifactor authentication to gain full control over access to data protection activities and backups. Set password-based backup encryption before sending data over the network. You can also configure network and storage encryption to guarantee no data breaches.
Multiple Recovery Options
With the NAKIVO solution, you can choose the recovery option that best suits your needs:
- Instantly boot entire VMs from cloud backups.
- Recover individual files and objects in Microsoft applications like Exchange Server, Active Directory and SQL Server. Instantly restore Microsoft 365 items from Microsoft Teams, OneDrive for Business, Exchange Online and SharePoint Online backups.
- Perform instant physical-to-virtual (P2V) recovery or cross-platform recovery.
- Recover physical machines to bare metal, directly on hardware without reinstalling OS.
Optimized Storage Space
Reduce storage consumption by performing incremental backups with native or NAKIVO proprietary tracking technologies to copy only the changed blocks of data. Further decrease the size of your backups with built-in compression.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I store my backups in Backblaze B2?
Backblaze B2 is a scalable and cost-efficient S3-compatible object storage in the cloud. Data stored in Backblaze B2 is quickly accessible from anywhere. You can use Backblaze B2 for long-term archiving without paying additional fees for unused capacity.
How can I protect my backups in the cloud?
Backups stored in Backblaze B2 can be made immutable using the write-once-read-many (WORM) model. Immutability prevents encryption or modification by ransomware infections. Additionally, you can apply role-based access controls (RBAC) to restrict unauthorized users from carrying out operations with backup data and encrypt backups at source, in transit and at rest. To guarantee that backup data is malware-free, run a backup scan before restoring data to a production environment.
What are the available recovery options?
NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers different recovery options:
- Full recovery: Instantly boot full VMs directly from Backblaze B2 backups.
- Granular recovery: Restore individual files and app objects (Microsoft 365 items, as well as Microsoft Exchange Server, Active Directory and SQL Server) to original or custom locations.
- Platform migration: Recover physical Linux/Windows servers and workstations as VMware vSphere VMs with instant P2V Recovery.
- Bare metal recovery. Ensure tighter RTO by recovering physical machines directly on the same or identical hardware.
