Seamless NAS to Cloud Backup – Reliable, Fast, Affordable
Fast and Space-Saving Backups
Run incremental NAS backups using NAKIVO’s proprietary change tracking technology, combined with scheduled full backups, to reduce storage overhead. Tailor your retention policies to rotate up to 4,000 recovery points efficiently to prevent retention gaps and optimize storage usage.
Flexible Backup Destinations
Automatically create and distribute backup copies across different destinations to meet the 3-2-1 rule. Store NAS backups in public clouds like Amazon S3, Azure Blob or Wasabi, on S3-compatible platforms, local folders, deduplication appliances, tape or SMB/NFS file shares.
Ransomware Protection
Make NAS backups immutable by storing them in the cloud, S3-compatible platforms, local Linux repositories or deduplication appliances. Immutability locks backup data for a specified period, preventing any changes or deletions even by ransomware. For an extra layer of protection, use air-gapped tape storage and perform malware scans on backups before initiating recovery.
Meet Compliance Requirements
Implement strict security measures and diversify backup storage locations in accordance with security regulations and standards like NIST, NIS2 and GDPR. Secure backups using AES-256 encryption at the source and in transit, password-protected repositories and two-factor authentication. Control user access and permissions to prevent unauthorized changes. Quickly locate files with the search box or navigation panel to streamline e-discovery.
Seamless Web-Based Management
Access and manage your backup solution from any device via an intuitive web console. Automate routine tasks and reduce manual errors with the calendar dashboard and customizable policy rules. Easily integrate with third-party tools using NAKIVO’s HTTP API.
Multiple Recovery Options
Restore specific files and folders from NAS backups to any custom location via SMB/NFS shares, email or direct browser download. Choose what you need and recover data exactly where and how you want – quickly and with minimal effort.
