Key Features of the
NAKIVO Backup Solution
Fast and flexible backups
The NAKIVO solution allows you to create fast incremental backups using native change tracking technologies to copy only the changed blocks of data. Send backups and backup copies to local repositories, public clouds (Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Azure Blob, Wasabi, Lyve Cloud), other S3-compatible storage, tape, NAS, SMB/NFS shares and deduplication appliances.
Protect against ransomware
Keep your backups safe from ransomware by using several built-in protection methods.
- Immutability. Store backups in immutable storage like local Linux-based repositories, HYDRAstor storage systems, public clouds and private clouds.
- Malware scan. Prevent ransomware infections from spreading to your production environment by scanning backups for malware before you recover data.
- Air-gapped backups. Keep backups in offline media such as tape to protect your data from ransomware or malware.
Achieve the tightest recovery objectives
Use the instant recovery option that best fits your needs to achieve near-zero RTOs and RPOs.
- Flash VM Boot. Resume business operations with minimum downtime by instantly booting VMs directly from backups.
- Instant granular recovery. Restore individual files and application objects to the source or to a different location.
- Bare metal recovery. Recover physical machines to identical hardware and avoid reinstalling the operating system and other configurations.
- Cross-platform recovery options. Swiftly restore Windows or Linux physical machines as VMware vSphere VMs using instant P2V recovery. For more cross-platform migration options, take advantage of the backup export feature.
Apply robust security measures
NAKIVO Backup & Replication includes several security features that allow you to protect your backups and reduce the risk of data loss.
- Role-based access control (RBAC). Prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data by assigning specific roles and permissions to your users.
- Two-factor authentication. Activate two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection when logging in to your account.
- Advanced encryption. Apply end-to-end encryption at source, during transit (network encryption) and at the target repository to make your backup data unintelligible for unauthorized users.
Ensure seamless administration and automation
Improve backup performance and manage workflows easier using data protection automation and administration tools.
- Scheduling and automation. Schedule tasks and avoid overlaps using the Calendar dashboard. Configure automatic verification, set up job priority and automate backup, replication and recovery sequences with the job chaining feature.
- Network Optimization. Reduce bandwidth consumption, shorten backup windows with network acceleration capabilities and perform LAN-free data transfer to offload your production network during working hours.
- IT Monitoring. Get a detailed view of your VMware infrastructure performance to improve resource distribution and detect shortages using IT monitoring.
Minimize downtime with DR capabilities
Maintain operations and business continuity with built-in disaster recovery functionality. Ensure comprehensive DR planning and eliminate the risk of data loss.
- Replication. Create and store replicas of your virtual or cloud workloads onsite or in a secondary disaster recovery site. You can instantly power on replicas to launch automated failover.
- Disaster recovery orchestration. Configure DR workflows and launch them automatically in case of disaster. You can create workflows that include failover, mapping rules, failback, etc. as well as schedule regular DR testing using Site Recovery feature.

Can NAKIVO Backup & Replication protect the data of small businesses from ransomware?

- Enable immutability in local Linux-based repositories, NEC HYDRAstor systems or in the cloud (Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Azure Blob or Wasabi).
- Perform backup malware scan to ensure that your backups are ransomware-free before starting the recovery process.
- Create air-gapped backups by storing data offline on tape.
