What Makes VMware Backup Harder Than It Should Be
As your environments grow, VMware backup and recovery become harder to scale, secure and control. See how NAKIVO addresses it.
Backup jobs slow down as you scale
Longer backup windows and failed jobs leave critical workloads exposed.
Reduce backup windows with incremental backups that capture only changed data. Built-in optimization keeps network impact low as your environment grows.
Recovery is not fast enough
Full VM restores take hours and granular recovery options are limited. Every minute offline affects users, services and operations.
Instantly restore full VMs, individual files and application objects. 10+ recovery options across different recovery use cases.
Complex VMware backup administration
More hosts, VMs, schedules and recovery points make daily operations difficult to control.
One web interface to manage all VMware data protection operations. Automated scheduling and policy-based protection to eliminate manual workflows.
Unpredictable VMware backup software costs
Per-feature licensing, growing storage consumption and multiple copies drive total spend beyond the initial quote.
Save big on a VMware data protection solution that’s tailored to your use cases with perpetual and per-workload licensing options.
Ransomware targets recovery, not just production
Attackers target backups alongside VMware workloads, eliminating clean restore points and your chance to recover.
Immutable storage for VMware backups on-premises, cloud and deduplication systems or choose air-gapped storage for complete isolation. Use Malware Scan to verify that data is clean before recovery.
Disaster recovery is hard to coordinate manually
Replication, failover/failback and recovery testing are often managed separately, nonexistent or are difficult to automate.
Replicate critical VMware VMs in real time and recover operations in seconds with a complete automated DR workflow (failover, failback and recovery testing, etc.).
