Advanced NAKIVO Software Features for Wasabi Backup

Direct Backups to Wasabi

Send backups and backup copies directly to Wasabi Hot Cloud storage. Protect different virtual, physical, cloud and SaaS environments including:

Keep a copy of data in the cloud to eliminate a single point of failure and ensure data recoverability in case the primary repository is unavailable.

Automated Data Protection

Reduce administrative overhead and avoid retention policy gaps by automating your data protection activities. Use the Calendar dashboard to create a custom schedule that fits your data protection needs or run backups automatically on a daily, weekly or monthly basis while avoiding overlaps. You can also set policy rules to automate the protection of production machines that match the selected parameters. Additionally, the job chaining feature allows you to create automated sequences that include backup, backup copy or replication jobs one after the other.

Reduced Storage Consumption

The NAKIVO solution allows you to reduce your storage space consumption. This also decreases your storage costs since you pay for each GB of data stored on Wasabi. Perform incremental backups using native or NAKIVO proprietary tracking technologies to quickly copy only the changed blocks of data after the initial full backup. Backups can be compressed to further minimize their size and save additional storage space.

Flexible Recovery Options

With NAKIVO, you have a range of recovery options that help you respond to machine failures and quickly restore data to meet strict recovery objectives:

  • Full recovery: Instantly boot VMs directly from compressed cloud backups to resume your workflow in minutes. For long-term use in a production environment, you can either migrate the booted VM or run a full VM recovery.
  • Granular recovery: Search for and restore individual files, folders and application objects as well as Microsoft 365 items from backups stored in Wasabi. Swiftly respond to compliance and e-discovery requests and recover needed data to the original or different location within seconds.
  • Bare Metal Recovery for tight RTOs. Recover physical machines without reinstalling the OS.
  • Instant P2V migration. Recover failed Windows or Linux physical servers and workstations in a few minutes as VMware VMs with the Instant P2V Recovery feature, without reinstalling the OS and applications.

Reliable Ransomware Resilience

Enable immutability in Wasabi cloud storage to protect your backups from modification, deletion or encryption by ransomware. Immutable recovery points are locked for a specified period and not even the root user can shorten the retention duration or edit the data. With immutable backups, you can guarantee data availability and recoverability in case you suffer from a ransomware attack.

For cyber-proof backups, use other security features along with immutable storage. The NAKIVO solution supports different encryption options, including password-based backup encryption at source as well as network and storage encryption to prevent data breaches. Set role-based access control and enable two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access to data protection activities.

Efficient Network Usage

Improve operational efficiency and offload your production network when sending backups to Wasabi. You can either schedule backups to run outside of business hours or enable advanced Bandwidth Throttling to limit bandwidth consumption when performing data protection activities. Keep your production network running smoothly and at the same time store your backups in the cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wasabi is a reliable, scalable and affordable cloud storage. You only pay for the storage space you use, which means that you do not have to pay any extra fees for unused capacity or for data transfer when recovering from the cloud. In addition, Wasabi offers a single storage class for both frequently accessed data and long-term archiving, removing the need to move data between storage tiers.

You can enable immutability when storing your backups in Wasabi. The feature uses the write-once-read-many (WORM) model to prevent modification or encryption by ransomware. Immutability cannot be lifted by anyone before the specified period ends. Along with immutability, set role-based access control and encrypt backups at source, in transit and at rest to mitigate cyber threats. Finally, scan backups for malware before data recovery to ensure no virus can infect the production server.

The NAKIVO solution allows you to instantly boot entire VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V VMs directly from backups in Wasabi cloud storage. You can also restore individual files, folders, app objects (Active Directory, Exchange Server, SQL Server) and Microsoft 365 items (in Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business, Teams and SharePoint Online) back to their original or to custom locations. It is also possible to recover Windows/Linux physical servers and workstations as VMware VMs using the P2V feature or to use the bare metal recovery feature.

Yes, the fully-featured 15-day Free Trial from NAKIVO gives you access to Wasabi cloud storage in addition to numerous advanced features. The trial does not have any limitations on functionality or number of protected machines and contains all the features you need to protect virtual, physical, cloud and SaaS environments. The deployment process is simple and you can book a free deployment session with NAKIVO experts who can help you install and configure the solution to run your first backup.
