VM Persistent Agent in NAKIVO Backup & Replication

Enhanced VM Security

Use different features like application-consistent processing for backup and replication as well as file-level recovery in NAKIVO Backup & Replication without using individual VM credentials. The solution automatically retrieves the VM agent’s unique ID and certificate and uses a custom master password to connect to a VM. This reduces security risks during data protection activities while also ensuring quick recovery without server overload.

Simplified VM Deployment

Create new virtual machines that already have the persistent agent installed by using pre-configured VM templates. This allows you to protect VM information and streamline the VM creation process across different departments in your organization.
