Windows Server Backup Software Features
Incremental Windows Server Backup
Enable NAKIVO’s change tracking technology to create incremental block-level Windows server backups. With only changed data blocks transferred to a backup repository, you can shorten backup windows, save storage space and accommodate more recovery points.
Ransomware-Resilient Backups
Protect backups from modification by ransomware in immutable local Linux-based repositories, on NEC HYDRAstor deduplication appliances, in public clouds (Amazon S3, Wasabi, Azure Blob, Backblaze B2 and Lyve Cloud) and other S3-compatible storage. You can also send Windows server backups to tape for long-term air-gapped storage. Before recovery, run malware scans to make sure that backup data is infection-free.
Backup Tiering
Backup data tiering is essential for applying the 3-2-1 backup rule and ensuring the availability of the most critical data. Send Windows server backups to NAS, a public cloud (Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2 or Azure Blob), other S3-compatible storage and tape to avoid a single point of failure. Use Job Chaining to automate backup data tiering.
Instant Granular Recovery
Instantly recover files and application objects from physical server backups. Items can be recovered to the original server or a new location and are usable as soon as they’re recovered.
Flexible Full Machine Recovery
When a server goes down, restore workloads from Windows server backups to the same or identical hardware without reinstalling the OS and complicated reconfigurations with Bare Metal Recovery. In hybrid environments, immediately boot VMware vSphere VMs directly from server backups to maintain uninterrupted workflows.
Consistent Windows File Server Backup
Use the app-aware mode for consistent backups of file servers, applications and databases. Supported platforms are:
Enhanced Security
The solution supports password-based source-side backup encryption along with other options like network and storage encryption. You can also enable two-factor authentication and configure role-based access control (RBAC) to apply the principle of least privilege and prevent unauthorized access.
Automation
For large environments with hundreds of critical physical and virtual machines, automation saves time and prevents data protection gaps. Set up custom policies to automatically protect machines that match your rules.
Easy Scheduling
To avoid overlaps and gain complete visibility into data protection activities, use the Calendar dashboard to schedule backups and view all past, ongoing and future activities.

Simple Web Administration
Web-based Windows server backup software that can be accessed from any device anywhere in the world. Protect mixed physical and virtual IT environments at a single site or distributed across multiple geographical locations via a user-friendly management console.
