Windows Workstation Backup
Software Advantages
Efficient, Storage-Saving Backups
Save time and storage resources with incremental, app-aware backups. Transfer only the changed blocks to a backup repository and ensure that backups of apps and databases are transactionally consistent.
Fast and Flexible Recovery
Minimize downtime and avoid resource-heavy full restores by instantly recovering individual files, folders and app objects. You can also restore full machines using bare metal recovery or P2V, giving you flexibility and speed during disasters.
Data Resilience Against Ransomware
Send encrypted backups to multiple secure destinations and enable immutability to prevent ransomware infection and unauthorized modifications.
Simplified Backup Management
Automate routine tasks and streamline administration with policy-based data protection, workflow chaining and scheduling options.

Windows Workstation Backup
with the NAKIVO Solution

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.

Advanced Storage Tiering
Eliminate a single point of failure by sending backups and backup copies of Windows laptops and desktops to different types of storage depending on retention period and recovery objectives: local storage, offsite, cloud, tape, etc.

Anti-Ransomware Resilience
Make use of anti-ransomware protection for backup data in the cloud. Enable immutability for repositories stored in Amazon S3, Wasabi, Azure Blob, Backblaze B2 and other S3-compatible platforms. For end-to-end security against breaches, encrypt backups before sending them to immutable storage and scan backups for ransomware and viruses before recovery to production machines.

Automated and Scheduled Backups
Streamline data protection administration and save time with advanced features. The Calendar dashboard allows you to schedule Windows workstation backups and minimize overlaps by easily finding available time slots. Use Job Chaining to build workflow sequences. Create policy-based rules to ensure the protection of all machines that match those rules.

Granular Backup and Recovery
Backing up entire workstations is resource-consuming. Speed up backup times and reduce space usage by targeting only specific folders or volumes. Restore them quickly to the location of your choice minimizing downtime and disruption.

File and Object Recovery
Instantly restore individual files and objects for Microsoft apps like SQL Server, Exchange Server and Active Directory without recovering the entire machine. Send files to their original location or a custom repository to keep operations running smoothly without full system restore.

Full Machine Recovery
Minimize recovery time objectives (RTOs) by restoring Windows workstations to identical bare metal hardware or by booting Windows machines directly from backups as VMware vSphere VMs with the P2V functionality.

Advanced Network Management
The Network Acceleration feature allows you to shrink backup windows and limit network usage during business hours. Set global or individual Bandwidth Throttling rules to mitigate the impact of Windows workstation backups on LAN/WAN networks.
