Windows Server Backup
Software Features
Incremental Windows Server Backup
Enable NAKIVO’s change tracking technology to create incremental block-level Windows server backups. With only changed data blocks transferred to a backup repository, you can shorten backup windows, save storage space and accommodate more recovery points.
Consistent Windows File Server Backup
Use the app-aware mode to create transactionally consistent backups of file servers, databases and Microsoft apps like Exchange Server, SQL Server and Active Directory.
Backup Tiering
Backup data tiering is essential for applying the 3-2-1 backup rule and ensuring the availability of the most critical data. Send Windows server backups to NAS, a public cloud (Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2 or Azure Blob), other S3-compatible storage and tape to avoid a single point of failure. Use Job Chaining to automate backup data tiering.
Granular Backup and Recovery
Streamline data protection and recovery with smaller and faster backups of specific volumes and folders instead of the entire server. You can also instantly restore files and application objects to the original server or a new location, with immediate access after recovery.
Ransomware-Resilient Backups
Protect backups from modification by ransomware in immutable local Linux-based repositories, on NEC HYDRAstor deduplication appliances, in public clouds like Amazon S3 and Lyve Cloud or other S3-compatible storage. You can also send Windows server backups to tape for long-term air-gapped storage and run pre-recovery malware scans to make sure that backup data is infection-free.
Enhanced Security
The solution supports password-based source-side backup encryption along with other options like network and storage encryption. You can also enable two-factor authentication and configure role-based access control (RBAC) to apply the principle of least privilege and prevent unauthorized access.
Flexible Full Machine Recovery
When a server goes down, restore workloads from Windows server backups to the same or identical hardware without reinstalling the OS and complicated reconfigurations with Bare Metal Recovery. In hybrid environments, immediately boot VMware vSphere VMs directly from server backups to maintain uninterrupted workflows.
Easy Scheduling and Automation
To avoid overlaps and gain complete visibility into data protection activities, use the Calendar dashboard to schedule backups and view all past, ongoing and future activities. For large environments, automation saves time and prevents data protection gaps. Set up custom policies to automatically protect machines that match your rules.
