Comprehensive Data Protection
with NAKIVO and Amazon S3
Direct Amazon S3 Backups
Send backups of VMware vSphere VMs, Microsoft Hyper-V VMs, Nutanix AHV VMs, Proxmox VE VM, Amazon EC2 instances, physical Linux/Windows server, Microsoft 365 apps and SMB/NFS file shares to Amazon S3. Add your AWS account and start backing up with no extra setup.
Backup Data Tiering
Avoid a single point of failure by storing backup copies in different locations. Use the solution’s job chaining feature to automatically create backup copies after a successful backup and send them to Amazon S3.
Ransomware-Resilient Backups
Use encryption to protect backup data against breaches and leaks. Use immutability based on S3 Object Lock to protect your backups stored in Amazon S3 from malicious or accidental deletions and modifications. Unaltered backups can then be used for recovery after ransomware incidents.
Optimized Storage Space
NAKIVO Backup & Replication creates incremental backups that can be compressed to minimize backup sizes. The solution also excludes swap files and partitions from VMs and Amazon EC2 instances backups without affecting data consistency.
Multiple Recovery Options
The NAKIVO solution offers you a variety of recovery options. Fully recover VMware vSphere VMs, Microsoft Hyper-V VMs and Amazon EC2 instances from Amazon S3 storage. Almost instantly recover physical machines from backups as VMware VMs or reduce recovery time objectives (RTO) with bare metal recovery. You can also use Instant VM Recovery to boot VMs directly from backups in seconds.
Granular Object Recovery
Quickly find and restore files, folders and app objects without restoring full backups. Recover data from Microsoft Exchange Server, SQL Server, Active Directory as well as Microsoft 365 apps, including OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams and Exchange Online.
Workflow Automation
Improve productivity and save time by automating routine backup management tasks. With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can set policies to automatically back up only those VMs and EC2 instances that match your criteria. Use the Calendar Dashboard to schedule your backup activities without overlaps.
Network-Aware Performance Controls
During peak office hours, sending backups to AWS S3 may put an extra load on the network. To prevent network congestion, restrict bandwidth speed using Advanced Bandwidth Throttling. You can limit how much bandwidth backups consume per workflow or during working days and peak hours.

FAQ
What are the benefits of Amazon S3?
Amazon S3 offers cost-effective and scalable cloud storage designed to provide 99.99% data availability and durability. Pay only for the storage capacity you use and scale cloud storage up or down without paying minimum or overage fees.
What data can I back up to AWS S3?
You can back up all supported virtual, physical, cloud and SaaS environments. These include VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox virtual machines, Amazon EC2 instances, Microsoft 365 apps and services, unstructured data in SMB/NFS file shares and Windows/Linux-based servers and workstations.
What is S3 Object Lock?
S3 Object Lock is the Amazon feature that allows you to make your data immutable using the write-once-read-many (WORM) model. Locked data is protected from deletion and modification by another user or ransomware. Use immutability as an extra layer of ransomware protection and for compliance purposes.
Which Amazon S3 storage classes does NAKIVO’s solution support?
The solution supports S3 Standard objects and buckets. S3 Standard is the “general purpose” Amazon S3 storage class for frequently accessed data. It provides high availability and durability, allowing you to retrieve data when needed.
How much data can I back up to Amazon S3?
Amazon S3 doesn’t limit the amount of data you can store. But each Amazon S3 backup repository can store up to 10 PB of data. Once you exceed the 10-PB limit, simply create another Amazon S3 backup repository.
