FAQ
How does NAKIVO handle backups of SQL Server?
NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows you to run incremental, image-based and application-aware backups of virtual and physical machines running Microsoft SQL Server. These backups are transactionally consistent, ensuring the integrity of your data. You can also automatically verify VM recoverability within seconds, ensuring that your data is always recoverable.

How can I protect my SQL Server backups from ransomware?
With the NAKIVO solution, you can avoid a single point of failure, enhance data resilience and protect your backups from ransomware and other cyber threats. Create multiple backup copies and store them in various locations—offsite, in the cloud or on tape—to implement the 3-2-1 backup rule.
Enable backup immutability locally or in the cloud to safeguard data from deletion or encryption by ransomware. Apply advanced AES-256 encryption at the source, in transit and in storage to further secure backups. Configure granular access permissions to limit who can modify or delete data, ensuring your backups are protected from unauthorized access.
Finally, run pre-recovery malware scans of SQL backups to prevent malware from reaching your production network.
Can I automate SQL Backup tasks with NAKIVO?
Absolutely. Simplify routine data protection tasks by scheduling them through the convenient Calendar dashboard. You can also link workflows to run automatically in sequence and set custom policy rules to automatically protect multiple machines that meet your criteria.
For more advanced automation capabilities, run custom scripts before or after backup jobs and integrate third-party tools via HTTP APIs to get more flexibility and control over backup operations.

Yes. NAKIVO Backup & Replication delivers comprehensive data protection for both virtual and physical machines running Microsoft SQL Server. Perform incremental, application-aware backups of SQL data hosted on VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VMs and physical Windows servers. This ensures data consistency and minimizes storage requirements, allowing for more efficient and reliable backups.
