Back Up Active Directory Data
with the NAKIVO Solution
Perform Fast Active Directory Backups
Improve backup performance with incremental backups that copy only the changed data blocks using proprietary change tracking technologies. When application-aware mode is enabled, NAKIVO ensures that Active Directory data is captured in a transactionally consistent state during VM, EC2 instance, or physical machine backups.
Recover AD Objects Instantly
You can instantly restore your entire AD or individual objects directly from compressed and deduplicated backups using the granular recovery capability. This allows you to quickly roll back to any previous state and undo unwanted changes.
Send AD Backups Offsite or to the Cloud
Store Active Directory data on multiple platforms to eliminate a single point of failure and ensure data availability in case of a disaster or disruption. The Backup Copy feature streamlines storage tiering by allowing you to send data to local repositories, offsite or to the cloud.
Improve Ransomware Resilience
Apply AES 256 encryption and role-based access control to protect AD data from unauthorized third-party access. You can also enable immutability on backups containing AD data to prevent modification or deletion by ransomware.
Improve Application-Aware Backup Performance
Increase data transfer rates and achieve shorter backup windows with the Network Acceleration feature. You can also use the built-in Advanced Bandwidth Throttling capability to limit bandwidth consumption for backup jobs and offload your production network.
Save Storage Space and Costs
Store only unique data in the backup repository when regularly backing up Active Directory data using the global data deduplication feature. You can further reduce storage consumption with the adjustable compression functionality in NAKIVO Backup & Replication.
Run Data Protection Tasks Automatically
Automate data protection workflows by scheduling AD data backups and recoveries using the Calendar dashboard. You can also run backup jobs automatically using the job chaining feature and back up data based on specific criteria with Policy-Based Data Protection.
Check Backup Recoverability
Verify that your Active Directory data backups are recoverable with the instant verification feature for VM backups. You can automate the verification workflows and run them without affecting your production network.
