What NAKIVO Backup & Replication is
NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides backup, replication, failover, backup copy, granular restore, and disaster recovery orchestration for virtual, physical, cloud, and SaaS environments. It covers VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VE, Amazon EC2, Microsoft 365, Oracle Database, Windows and Linux machines, and NFS/SMB file shares. Backups can be image-based, application-aware, and incremental, with up to 1,000 recovery points retained through GFS rotation. Site Recovery workflows automate disaster recovery actions across VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, and Amazon EC2. Deployment is available as a virtual appliance or by installation on a supported machine or NAS. NAKIVO states that physical machine backup data uses AES 256-bit encryption; Linux repositories can also be encrypted with a password and checked for integrity, with repair where possible. It offers web, Windows, Linux, self-hosted, and API platforms. A 15-day free trial is available; there is no free plan.
