NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6 Beta now provides native backup and replication of Amazon EC2 instances and also provides Backup Copy jobs, native NFS support, updated Web interface, and more.

CAMPBELL, CA – February 8, 2016 — /BackupReview.info/ — NAKIVO Inc., a fast-growing software company for protecting virtualized and cloud environments, has announced today that it has started an open Beta program for NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6. All Beta program participants completing the program requirements will receive an Amazon gift card. More details and v6 Beta download are available at www.nakivo.com/en/beta/v6.html

NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6 Beta provides the following key features:

AWS EC2 Support: Amazon EC2 is the most popular public compute cloud, which enables customers to rapidly deploy and utilize cloud-based instances. However, there has been no native data protection solutions for EC2 instances, so customers had to manually create snapshots or use physical backup solutions to protect their data. For the first time, NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6 Beta provides native backup and replication of Amazon EC2 instances. The Beta version features:

  • Support for VMware and Amazon cloud environments in the single pane of glass
  • Scheduled, forever incremental backup of EC2 instances to a backup repository which can be located anywhere: in the same Amazon region, in a different Amazon region, or in a local office
  • Flexible backup retention policy which enables saving up to 1,000 recovery points for each backup, and rotating them on the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis
  • Support for applications and databases of Windows-based and Linux-based Amazon EC2 instances
  • Global data deduplication and compression
  • Instant file and application objects recovery, full instance recovery to any region
  • Native EC2 instance replication to the same region or cross regions for disaster recovery

Backup Copy Jobs: Backups can be lost due to a number of reasons: accidental backup deletion, backup file corruption, disk failure, lost or stolen hardware, malicious attack, or due to some other undesired and unpredicted event. Thus, having more than one copy of business-critical backups is vital for ensuring that data can be recovered in case of a disaster. Backup Copy jobs provide a simple yet powerful way to create and maintain copies of backups, which can be stored anywhere: onsite, offsite, or in Amazon cloud. Backup Copy jobs copy backups from one backup repository to another, without touching the source ESXi hosts or source VMs/Amazon EC2 instances. This way source VMs/Amazon EC2 Instances are read only once, while backups can be copied to one or multiple locations. In addition, Backup Copy jobs have their own schedule and backup retention policy, which means that customers can run backup copies whenever they want and copy what they want to a secondary backup repository. This way, for example, customers can store several daily VM backups onsite, and keep (archive) weekly, monthly, and yearly copies of VM backups to a secondary backup repository for long term storage.

NFS shares support: In addition to supporting Windows CIFS shares andlocal folders, NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6 Beta enables creating backup repositories directly on NFS shares. Backup repositories can now be created on NFS shares simply from the product’s web interface.

Internationalization: NAKIVO Backup & Replication is used by customers across the globe. In NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6 Beta, date and time format, first day of the week, and the decimal symbol format can now be customized in the product’s configuration.

Improved Web interface: While the product’s web interface has been praised by customers for its simplicity and ease of use, the Beta version further improves the interface and makes it even more intuitive with updated dashboards and configuration. For example, job dashboards now include live charts displaying backup speed and the amount of transferred data, while job wizards include the vSphere’s “VMs and Templates” view.

“Today we are proud to introduce an open Beta program for NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6,” said Bruce Talley, CEO and co-founder of NAKIVO. “For the first time, a single product can provide native backup and replication for both VMware and Amazon EC2 environments, enabling customers to protect and recover their data more efficiently and cost effectively. We are excited to invite VMware professionals and Amazon cloud users to try the new v6 Beta and help us make NAKIVO Backup & replication even better.”
