Nakivo Backup & Replication for VMware

NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides image-based VMware VM backup. You can run back up VMs on schedule or ad hoc, both locally over LAN and offsite over WAN. For each VM backup, you can save up to 1,000 recovery points and rotate them on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. All backup jobs are forever-incremental and use VMware Changed Block Tracking to quickly identify changed data, which results in fast backups. To further boost backup speed, you can enable the LAN-free and Network Acceleration features. NAKIVO Backup & Replication supports Exchange, Active Directory, MS SQL, SharePoint, and other applications and databases running in VMs, ensuring that all backups are consistent. To save storage space, all VM backups are automatically compressed and deduplicated across entire backup repository.

AWS EC2 Backup

With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can easily set up scheduled Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) backups. NAKIVO Backup & Replication protects entire AWS EC2 instances and performs forever-incremental backups, which transfer only changed data to your backup repository. You can keep your AWS EC2 backups anywhere—the backup repository can be located in the same Amazon EC2 region, in a different region, or even at your office or home. For each backup, you can save up to 1,000 recovery points and, using the GFS backup rotation scheme, rotate them on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. In addition, you can ensure that your AWS EC2 instances are always backed up by protecting an entire Amazon EC2 region or account. This way, all new AWS EC2 instances that are created in or moved to the region or account are automatically added to your backup jobs and stay protected.

Protect VMs Onsite and Offsite

You can easily schedule VMware backup and replication jobs in a fast and simple Web interface. For each VM backup, you can save up to 1,000 recovery points and rotate them on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. All backup jobs are forever-incremental, use VMware Changed Block Tracking to quickly identify changed data, can run in the LAN-free mode, and also use Network Acceleration.

Safeguard Applications and Databases

NAKIVO Backup & Replication supports Exchange, Active Directory, MS SQL, Oracle, and other applications and databases running inside the VMs you back up and replicate. Using the Application-Aware mode, the product ensures that application and database data is always consistent.
