Fast, Reliable, Affordable Data Protection
NAKIVO Backup & Replication is purely agentless, and can be installed on Windows, Linux, NAS, or deployed as a pre-configured VMware VA or AWS AMI. The product provides image-based backup and replication of VMware VMs and AWS EC2 instances, and supports live applications and databases running inside them, so that backups and replicas are always consistent. All jobs are forever-incremental and transfer only changed data to a backup repository or target DR server. NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides LAN-free and Network Acceleration features, which further boost backup and replication speed. To save storage space, all backups are automatically compressed and deduplicated across entire backup repository. When it comes to data recovery, NAKIVO Backup & Replication enables you to instantly recover VMs, files, and application objects directly from compressed and deduplicated backups.

New NAKIVO release v6
Backup and Replication for AWS EC2
NEWNAKIVO Backup & Replication provides native data protection for AWS EC2 instances. You can back up AWS EC2 instances anywhere: to a backup repository located in the same Amazon region, in a different Amazon region, or in a local office. NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides support for applications and databases running in Windows-based and Linux-based Amazon EC2 instances, and ensures that their data is consistent. For each backup, you can save up to 1,000 recovery points and rotate them on the daily, monthly, and yearly basis. All backup jobs are forever-incremental and send only changed data to the backup repository and all backups are automatically compressed and deduplicated to save storage space. You can instantly recover files and application objects directly from compressed and deduplicated backups, as well as recover full instances to the same region or cross regions.
Backup Copy Jobs NEW Backups can be lost due to a number of reasons: accidental backup deletion, backup file corruption, disk failure, lost or stolen hardware, malicious attack, or due to some other undesired and unpredicted event. Thus, having more than one copy of your business-critical backups is vital for ensuring that your data can be recovered in case of a disaster. Backup Copy jobs provide a simple yet powerful way to create and maintain copies of your backups. Backup Copy jobs copy backups from one Backup Repository to another, without touching the source ESXi hosts or source VMs. This way your source VMs are read only once, while backups can be copied to one or multiple locations.
NFS Shares Support NEW
In addition to supporting Windows CIFS shares and local folders, NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6 now enables creating backup repositories directly on NFS shares. Backup repositories can now be created on NFS shares simply from the product’s web interface.
Internationalization NEW
Since NAKIVO Backup & Replication is used worldwide, v6 now provides the ability to configure date and time format, first day of the week, and the decimal symbol format.
Improved Web Interface NEW While the product’s web interface has been praised by customers for its simplicity and ease of use, the new version further improves the interface and makes it even more intuitive with updated dashboards and configuration. |

applications, groups of VMs supporting a cloud service, and
transaction-intensive virtualized set of workloads. Fast VMware
infrastructure discovery, backup and replication with advanced
VM protection features,
delivers one of the highest levels of performance, reliability, and ease of
use available in the VM disaster recovery market today.
NAKIVO Backup & Replication
focuses on the requirements of Small Business and supports low bandwidth or
high packet loss WAN links that are often found between the small business

production ESX(i) hosts.
- Can be operated in less than five minutes since installation start.
- Reduces resource consumption and bandwidth by transferring only changed
blocks with or without VMware CBT enabled.
- Retries automatically previously failed backup or replication jobs for
higher reliability.
- Reduces downtime by reaching lower recovery time objectives (RTO) and
closer recovery point objectives (RPO) as low as 5 minutes.
- Mitigates human errors through backup and replication automation and
scheduling while eliminating the need for backup tapes.
- Provides options including VM sequencing and logic VM grouping by office
location, application or business service.
- Enables fast recovery from virus attacks and accidentally deleted files,

Frequently Asked Questions
Product
What is NAKIVO Backup & Replication?
NAKIVO Backup & Replication is an all-in-one VMware VM backup, replication, and recovery solution designed to protect VMs onsite, offsite, and in the cloud.
How many VMs can NAKIVO Backup & Replication protect?
NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a modular solution that can be fully installed on a single machine to protect small and mid-sized environments, as well as scale out horizontally and support large distributed environments with 10,000+ VMs.
Does the product support live applications and databases?
Yes, you can back up, replicate, and recover live VMs running Exchange, Active Directory, MS SQL, Oracle, and other applications and databases. Using the application-aware mode, NAKIVO Backup & Replication ensures that data inside VM backups and VM Replicas is consistent, and that you can recover files, application objects, and entire VMs.
Does the product support large VMs?
Yes, you can back up, replicate, and recover 500+ GB VMs with NAKIVO
Backup & Replication.
Can I stage (seed) the initial VM backup or replica?
Yes, you can perform initial backup and replication to a removable
media (such as a USB drive), then transfer the media to a remote
location, and then run forever-incremental backup and replication jobs
to that new location, thus saving time and bandwidth.
Can I exclude VM disks from backup and replication jobs?
Yes, you can choose what disks you would like to back up or
replicate in NAKIVO Backup & Replication.
Does the product provide granular recovery?
Yes, you can instantly recover files and Microsoft Exchange objects
directly from compressed and deduplicated VM backups without recovering
the entire VM first.
How does data deduplication work?
Deduplication significantly reduces storage consumption by saving
only unique data blocks to a repository. During backup, NAKIVO Backup &
Replication compares each new block of data to ones that are already
available in the backup repository. Only unique data blocks are written
into the backup repository, while those blocks that are already
available in the repository are skipped. This way one block of data can
be used to recover several different VMs.
Editions
What are Essentials editions?
NAKIVO has introduced Pro for VMware Essentials and Enterprise for
VMware Essentials editions to help small businesses protect virtual
infrastructure at an affordable price. These editions have the same
feature set as the Pro and Enterprise editions respectively, but come at
a lower price and support only Essentials and Essentials Plus editions
of VMware vSphere.
How is the Free edition different from the paid editions?
The Free Edition provides a quick and simple way to make ad-hoc
backups of running VMs for operational, archival, and portability
purposes. The paid editions provide the ability to continuously protect
virtual environment with backup and replication. To learn more, please
see the
Free vs. Paid Comparison.
Licensing
How is NAKIVO Backup & Replication licensed?
NAKIVO Backup &Replication licenses are CPU socket based and only
charged for the source side of backup or replication. For more information, please contact
myynti@softasuperstore.com.
Are any product features or components licensed separately?
No, all features and components in NAKIVO Backup & Replication are
covered with a single, per-socket license.
Upgrades
Do I need a new license to upgrade to a new major version?
Yes, you need a new license file to install each new major version
of the product. License files from previous versions cannot be used to
install newer version of the product.
Are upgrades to major versions free for existing customers?
All upgrades are free for customers on maintenance. All new
purchases include 1 year of free maintenance. When the maintenance
expires, you can renew it by contacting
myynti@softasuperstore.com.
