NAKIVO Backup & Replication

What NAKIVO Backup & Replication is

NAKIVO Backup & Replication handles backup, replication, failover, backup copies, granular restores, and disaster recovery workflows for virtual, physical, cloud, and SaaS environments. It supports image-based, application-aware, incremental backups and replication. Coverage includes VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VE, Amazon EC2, Microsoft 365, Oracle Database, Windows and Linux machines, and NFS/SMB file shares. Backups can retain up to 1,000 recovery points through GFS rotation. Site Recovery workflows can automate disaster recovery actions across VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, and Amazon EC2. The software can run as a virtual appliance or be installed on a supported machine or NAS device. For physical machine backups, NAKIVO says it protects data with AES 256-bit encryption. Linux repositories can be encrypted with a password, and repository self-healing checks data integrity and repairs errors where possible. Active Directory integration and an HTTP API support monitoring, automation, and orchestration connections. The product is available for web, Windows, Linux, self-hosted use, and through an API. Subscription starts at $2.50 a month per workload; Perpetual starts at $229, paid once per CPU socket. A 15-day trial enables all features. NAKIVO was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Sparks, Nevada, United States.
