Complete Data Protection with NAKIVO and QNAP

Create a High-Performance Backup Appliance

Combine NAKIVO Backup & Replication with QNAP NAS to create a multifunctional backup appliance that provides data backup, recovery, replication, compression and deduplication. You can manage your data protection activities for all your platforms from a single web interface.

Use Different Recovery Options

Restore full machines directly from backups stored on QNAP NAS with the Flash VM Boot feature or with physical-to-virtual (P2V) recovery. You can also perform granular recovery to instantly restore individual files and application objects to their original or to custom locations.

Monitor and Automate Data Protection Tasks

Gain complete control of all data protection activities using the Overview dashboard for backup monitoring and the Calendar dashboard for scheduling. Automate workflows with the Policy-Based Data Protection feature that allows you to automatically back up workloads based on preset criteria. With Job Chaining, you can set jobs to run one after the other.

Keep Backups in Multiple Storages

Store backups on QNAP NAS separately from the production environment. You can also keep backup copies offsite by sending them directly from NAS disks to remote storage or to the cloud (like Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Wasabi or Azure Blob) and other S3-compatible platforms. Backups can also be stored on tape for long-term retention.

Maintain Ransomware Resilience

You can protect backups stored on QNAP NAS from deletion or encryption by ransomware by enabling immutability. Store backup copies in the cloud, on tape or on a detached storage device to ensure recoverability in case of a disaster or infection. You can also encrypt backup data or enable role-based access control to prevent unauthorized access.

Deploy with Speed and Simplicity

Install NAKIVO Backup & Replication on QNAP NAS in minutes with no additional configuration. The solution supports QNAP QTS, QuTS hero and QuTScloud, so you can deploy it on both physical and virtual NAS systems. After installation, start protecting virtual, physical, cloud and SaaS environments from a single interface.

Create Custom Disaster Recovery Workflows

Create and automate custom disaster recovery (DR) sequences with the Site Recovery feature. Actions in a sequence can include failover, failback, network mapping, custom scripts, VM shutdown, etc. Minimize data loss and downtime by instantly initiating a preset sequence in a disaster scenario. You can also test customized DR workflows without impacting your production environment.

Improve Backup Performance

Incremental backups allow you to copy only the changed data blocks using native change tracking technologies to speed up the backup process and reduce storage space consumption. The NAKIVO solution can send backup data directly to NAS disks to avoid the limitations of SMB and NFS protocols. You can further optimize resource allocation and usage with Network Acceleration and Advanced Bandwidth Throttling. Apply compression and deduplication to reduce storage space consumption even further.
