Linux Workstation Backup with the NAKIVO Solution
Incremental Backups
The NAKIVO solution uses a proprietary change tracking technology to copy only changed data blocks to the backup repository after the initial full backup. Enable App-Aware mode to ensure the consistency of application data.
Seamless Storage Tiering
Send backups and backup copies of Linux Ubuntu to offsite storage, a public or private cloud, file share or tape. Automate the tiering process with Job Chaining.
Immutable Storage and Malware Protection
Ensure you have clean backups to recover from after a ransomware attack with source-side backup encryption and immutable storage. You can encrypt backups using the AES-256 standard before sending data over the network. You can also make backups immutable in Linux-based local folders, HYDRAstor file systems, public clouds (Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2 and Azure Blob) and other S3-compatible platforms. Additionally, scan backups for malware before recovering data to the source or new machines to ensure streamlined and secure restores.
Granular Backup and Recovery
Back up only what matters by selecting individual volumes and folders instead of full server backups. Folder backups allow you to implement tiered backup strategies and simplify compliance management. You can also minimize downtime by recovering folders and volumes to the location of your choice. Additionally, you can choose Instant File Recovery and Universal Object Recovery to restore individual files and objects directly from compressed and deduplicated backups.
Effortless Full Machine Recovery
Restore Linux workstations as VMware VMs using the P2V Recovery feature in NAKIVO Backup & Replication. Perform near-instant physical-to-virtual migrations for Linux desktops and laptops. Use Bare Metal Recovery to restore machines to identical hardware without the need for reinstalling the OS.
Scheduled Backups with Bandwidth Control
Schedule routine backups to run automatically on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Create a custom schedule and monitor all your tasks from the Calendar dashboard. To ensure seamless performance during business hours, use Advanced Bandwidth Throttling to limit network usage during Linux workstation backups.
