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.
Copy Backups to Amazon Cloud
Run Backup Copy jobs on their own schedule, maintain a mirrored copy of a backup repository, copy only the most important backups, or keep daily backups onsite and send weekly and monthly backups offsite.
Verify VM Backups. Instantly. Automatically.
After a VM backup is completed, NAKIVO Backup & Replication can instantly test-recover the VM with networking turned off, take a screenshot of the recovered VM, and send it to you in a report. This way, you can get instant proof of VM recoverability in your inbox every day.
Save Storage Space
NAKIVO Backup & Replication automatically deduplicates backed up data at the block level across an entire backup repository, and saves only unique blocks of data. This dramatically reduces backup size. After data deduplication, the product automatically compresses each data block so it occupies even less storage space in a backup repository.
Instantly Restore What You Need
You can instantly restore VMs, files, Microsoft Exchange objects, and Microsoft Active Directory objects directly from compressed and deduplicated backups. Instant restore works out of the box for all VM backups and does not require running a full restore from backup.
Turn your Synology NAS into a VM Backup Appliance
To improve backup performance by 1.7X, while offloading backup workloads from your VMware environment.
Protect AWS EC2 Instances
With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can back up and replicate AWS EC2 instances. Instance backups can be stored in the same Amazon region, in a different Amazon region, or copied to another location. For each backup, you can save up to 1,000 recovery points and rotate them on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis. NAKIVO Backup & Replication creates application-consistent backups of Windows-based and Linux-based instances, and enables instant recovery of files and application objects directly from instance backups. |

Pro and Enterprise Editions
Pro and Enterprise editions work with any edition of VMware vSphere, and you can purchase any number of socket licenses.
Essentials Editions
Essentials editions enable you to protect small environments at an even more affordable price, but are limited to 6 socket licenses per organization. The Essentials editions work with any edition of VMware vSphere: Essentials, Essentials Plus, Standard, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus.
Subscription Licensing
You can reduce upfront costs by purchasing a subscription license for NAKIVO Backup & Replication. The subscription license is also based on physical CPU sockets and charged only for the source side of backup and replication.

VMware Backup
Features
Data Protection
VMware Backup
You can back up VMware virtual
machines on schedule or ad hoc, both locally over LAN and offsite
over (a slow) WAN. You can save up to 1,000 recovery points per VM
and, using the Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) retention scheme, rotate
them on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis.
VMware Backup Copy
Backup Copy jobs provide a simple and
powerful way to create and maintain copies of your backups. Backup
copies can be stored onsite, offsite, or in Amazon Cloud. Backup
Copy jobs have their own schedule and recovery point retention
policy, so you can easily set up your jobs to fit your needs.
VMware VM Replication
VMware VM replication creates and
maintains an identical copy of the source virtual machine on a
target host. You can replicate live VMs on schedule or ad hoc
locally and offsite and simply power them on in case the source VM
is lost or damaged. You can even save up to 30 recovery points per
replica.
Applications and Databases Support
NAKIVO Backup & Replication supports
Exchange, Active Directory, MS SQL, Oracle, and other applications
and databases running inside VMs that you back up and replicate.
Using the Application-Aware mode, the product ensures that
application and database data is always consistent.
Automated VM Protection
You can ensure that important VMs are
always backed up and replicated by protecting VMware containers such
as resource pools, folders, hosts, clusters, and so on. This way all
new VMs that are created in or moved to the protected container are
automatically added to your job.
Data Recovery
Flash VM Boot
Flash VM Boot enables you to run
(boot) VMs directly from compressed and deduplicated VM backups.
This way you can recover your VMs within seconds, without waiting
for full restore from backup files. Using Flash VM Boot you can also
verify VM backups, run disaster recovery tests, access files and
application objects of any application on any OS, test system
updates and application patches, and so on.
Instant File Recovery
You can instantly recover files and
folders directly from compressed and deduplicated backups of
Windows-based and Linux-based VMs. File recovery works over LAN and
WAN: even if your backup repository is located offsite a thousand
miles away, the recovery is done within seconds.
Instant Object Recovery
With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you
can instantly recover application objects directly from compressed
and deduplicated VMware VM backups, without the need to recover an
entire VM first. This feature works out of the box and does not
require installing agents, preparing a lab environment, or creating
a special type of backup. The product provides:
- Instant Object Recovery for
Microsoft® Exchange.
- Instant Object Recovery for
Microsoft® Active Directory.
Full VM Recovery from VM Backup
If a backed up VM is accidentally
damaged or deleted, you can recover the full VM from the backup in
just a few clicks. The entire VM will be recovered in exactly the
same state as it was during the backup and will appear on the ESXi
you selected for recovery - there’s no need to manually recreate the
VM, install an OS, and then restore data.
Disaster Recovery with VM Replicas
Because VM replication creates an
identical copy of source VMs, recovering from a disaster is as
simple as powering on the replicated VMs. If a source VM has been
damaged and then replicated, you can roll back the replica VM to a
previous recovery point.
Storage Space
Reduction
Global Data Deduplication
NAKIVO Backup & Replication
automatically deduplicates backed up data at the block level across
entire backup repository, and saves only unique blocks of data. This
dramatically reduces backup size.
Efficient Data Compression
After data deduplication, the product
automatically compresses each block of data so it occupies even less
storage space in a backup repository.
Network Acceleration
Data compression and traffic
reduction techniques enable the product to reduce network traffic by
50% on average, thus decreasing the network load and speeding up
backup and replication times by 2X.
Multi-Threading
NAKIVO Backup & Replication can run
dozens of backup, replication, and recovery jobs simultaneously,
which speeds up data processing and shortens the time windows
allocated to data protection.
Direct SAN Support
The product supports fiber-channel
and iSCSI SANs, enabling to offload production network and
significantly increase the speed of backup and replication.
Forever-Incremental Jobs
After the initial backup and
replication (which can also be done via a removable media), all jobs
are forever-incremental and do not require running periodic full
backup or replication. This reduces backup windows and network load.
In addition, the product uses VMware’s Changed Block Tracking
technology to quickly identify data blocks that have changed since
the last job run.
Reliability
Built for Virtualization, Certified
by VMware
Built for virtualization, NAKIVO
Backup & Replication has been tested by VMware and has received the

an automated way to (near) instantly verify all VMware VM backups
and sends screenshots of the restored VMs as a proof of
recoverability.
Repository Self-Healing
The self-healing feature
automatically runs periodic self-checks verifying repository
integrity. If there are errors in the repository – such as missing
or partially written metadata – the product automatically repairs
them.
Full Synthetic Data Storage
NAKIVO Backup & Replication stores
backup data in the full synthetic mode. This enables to recover VMs
from any recovery point even if a previous increment is lost or
damaged.
Automated Job Retries

network disruptions or high server load – can prevent jobs from
completing successfully. NAKIVO Backup & Replication automatically
retries failed actions multiple times and resumes jobs from the
point of failure, to help prevent starting over from scratch.
