Flexible Recovery Options
With the NAKIVO solution, you have varying recovery options for backups stored in Azure Blob. You can instantly boot VMs from backups or recover individual files, folders and objects of Microsoft applications (Active Directory, Exchange Server, SQL Server) and Microsoft 365 items (in Exchange Online, Teams, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online). You can also recover physical machines directly on hardware without re-installing OS with bare metal recovery or restore them as VMware VMs in minutes with the P2V recovery feature.

Backup Tiering
Send backups and backup copies to different locations to eliminate a single point of failure. Keep backups onsite for quick recovery and send backup copies to cloud storage like Azure Blob to ensure data recoverability in case of a disaster. Use Job Chaining to automate the process and automatically create backup copies from successful backups.

Reduced Storage Consumption
Create incremental backups with NAKIVO Backup & Replication and copy only the changed blocks of data using native or NAKIVO proprietary change tracking technologies. These backups can be compressed to further minimize size and reduce storage space consumption.

Ransomware Protection
Use password-based encryption for backups at source, during transfer over the network and at rest to prevent data breaches. Enable immutability in Azure Blob to make encrypted backups immutable for a specified period. This allows you to prevent unwanted modification or encryption by ransomware. The immutability period cannot be shortened, not even by the root user.

Centralized Control with Workflow Automation
Create policy-based workflows to automatically back up VMs based on defined criteria. Use the Calendar dashboard to schedule jobs without overlaps. Monitor, manage and automate data protection for physical, virtual, cloud and SaaS workloads from a single, web-based interface designed for full visibility and control.
