Data Protection Made Simple with NAKIVO
Implement comprehensive data protection
Protect various environments including VMware vSphere, VMware Cloud Director, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VE, Windows/Linux physical servers and workstations, Amazon EC2 instances, Microsoft 365, SMB/NFS file shares and Oracle Database via RMAN.
- Incremental and app-aware backups. Perform native incremental backups to copy only the changed data blocks and speed up data transfers. Use app-aware mode to guarantee data consistency in databases and applications (Microsoft Exchange Server, Active Directory and SQL Server).
- Storage scaling and tiering. Store backups and backup copies in local repositories, public clouds (Wasabi, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Azure Blob and Lyve Cloud), other S3-compatible object storage, tape, NAS, SMB/NFS shares and deduplication appliances. Easily scale out backup storage by adding more repositories for efficient storage use and uninterrupted data protection.
- Instant backup verification. Make sure your backups are recoverable using the instant verification feature without affecting your production network.


Eliminate the risk of ransomware
Apply robust ransomware protection using various built-in features that minimize the risk of infection and ensure ransomware resilience.
- Immutable storage. Enable backup immutability in local Linux-based repositories, NEC HYDRAstor systems, in public clouds and other S3-compatible platforms to prevent modification or deletion by ransomware.
- Malware scan. Scan your backups for malware before initiating the recovery process to ensure ransomware-free data.
- Air-gapped storage. Store backups on tape media and keep it offline to prevent ransomware infections.
Achieve near-zero RTOs and RPOs
Choose the recovery option that you need to achieve the tightest recovery options and restore data almost instantly.
- Instant VM recovery. Eliminate downtime by using flash VM boot to recover critical machines directly from backups. Use the booted VM as a testing environment and then discard or recover the VM permanently.
- Instant granular recovery. Restore individual files and applications objects in seconds to any location.
- Bare metal recovery. Restore physical machines to the same or to an identical hardware without reinstalling the OS and other configurations.
- Cross-platform recovery. Seamlessly restore VMs across different hypervisors using cross-platform recovery. You can also recover physical Windows and Linux servers or workstations as VMware VMs with instant P2V recovery.
- Real-Time ReplicationBETA for VMware. Instantaneously create an exact copy of your VMs in a secondary site and continuously update it while making changes to the original VM. Real-Time ReplicationBETA allows you to achieve tighter RPOs by choosing a point-in-time replica from a series of increments as low as 1 second apart.


Enhance data and access security
Implement robust security measures to ensure the safety of your backups and reduce the risk of data loss.
- End-to-end backup encryption. Enable password-based backup encryption at source, in-flight and at-rest to protect your critical backups from unauthorized users.
- Two-factor authentication. Add an extra layer of protection when logging in to your account by activating two-factor authentication.
- Role-based access control. Assign specific roles and permissions to users across your organization to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
Simplify administration and optimize performance
NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides numerous tools that allow you to enhance data protection performance.
- Workflow automation. Activate policy-based data protection to automatically protect workloads that fit specific criteria, schedule tasks using the Calendar dashboard and configure automated backup, replication or recovery sequences with the job chaining and job priority features.
- Better backup performance. Offload your production network with LAN-free data transfer or restrict bandwidth usage during business hours. You can also enable network acceleration or perform backups directly from storage snapshots.
- IT monitoring. Gain complete oversight over your VMware infrastructure and closely monitor performance to improve resource distribution and detect bottlenecks before they cause any problems.
- Multi-tenant mode. The multi-tenant mode allows you to create multiple isolated environments and manage all of them using the centralized dashboard. Add local tenants from your own deployment of NAKIVO Backup & Replication or remote tenants with standalone licenses of the NAKIVO solution. For more efficient management, consider NAKIVO’s dedicated license for MSP to get complete visibility into your tenants’ environment status and resource consumption from a single advanced MSP console.
- HTTP API integration kit. Integrate the solution with different third-party software via HTTP API to streamline management, automation and monitoring of data protection activities.


Maintain business continuity with advanced DR capabilities
The built-in disaster recovery functionality allows you to minimize downtime, eliminate the risk of data loss and maintain your operations following a disruption.
- Replication. Create replicas of your virtual and cloud workloads and store them onsite or in a secondary recovery site. Configure automated failover and instantly power on your replicas.
- Disaster recovery orchestration. Launch custom DR sequences automatically in case of a disruptive event. You can configure workflows such as failover, failback and mapping rules. The Site Recovery feature also allows you to perform regular non-disruptive DR testing.

The flexible licensing (subscription or perpetual) model, 3 enterprise editions and dedicated MSP editions offer varying features to accommodate different budgets and needs.
Which tools and applications can I integrate with?
It is possible to integrate NAKIVO Backup & Replication with Microsoft Active Directory to simplify user management. Moreover, the solution can be integrated with monitoring, automation and orchestration solutions via HTTP API. This allows you to reduce costs and streamline data protection processes.
Can I offer Backup as a Service (BaaS) and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)?
NAKIVO allows you to deliver BaaS and DRaaS to MSP clients by using the solution’s multi-tenant mode. You can create up to 100 tenants with isolated IT environments. Tenants can run and manage their data protection activities through the self-service portal. With MSP editions, you also get a more granular view of the tenants’ environments and resources from the advanced console.
Does NAKIVO Backup & Replication integrate with NAS and deduplication appliances?
Yes. You can send backups to existing hardware to improve backup speed, reduce bandwidth usage and save on storage space. NAKIVO’s solution supports NAS devices and deduplication appliances as backup targets. You can also install the solution directly on NAS to create an all-in-one backup appliance with optimized performance.
Can I create backups from storage snapshots?
Yes. The NAKIVO solution allows you to create backups and replicas of VMware vSphere hosted on HPE 3PAR, Primera, Alletra and Nimble Storage devices directly from storage snapshots instead of regular VM snapshots. This reduces the impact of backups on your production environment and shortens RPOs.
How can I start using the NAKIVO solution?
