NAKIVO
marks another major milestone as a leader in the data protection industry with
the release of NAKIVO Backup & Replication v10.6. The latest version
includes new functionality for protecting file shares on NAS devices and
Windows / Linux file servers. The 10.6 release also expands
the backup scope of Microsoft 365 and VMware vSphere environments, and adds a
new ransomware-resilient deployment option with hardened AMI.
"With NAKIVO Backup &
Replication v10.6, we're taking another major step towards helping our
customers meet their data protection objectives," says Bruce Talley, CEO of
NAKIVO Inc. "With NAS Backup, we are excited to deliver a reliable file share
backup solution, as the use of NAS and other file storage systems continues to
grow across organizations."
"In NAKIVO Backup &
Replication, we found a stable VM backup solution that lets us back up VMs
faster and recover VMs in minutes and that is extremely helpful in order to
keep our business operations available at all times," says Steven Schmidt,
System Administrator at One World Direct.
NAS
Backup
Network
shares, a common way of accessing data remotely, often contain large numbers of
files, whether located on Windows/Linux machines or NAS systems. With NAS
Backup, customers can back up entire file shares or specific folders within
those shares to a variety of backup targets and recover files and folders to
the location of their choice. The feature supports backup, backup copy and
recovery of file shares using the NFS and SMB (CIFS) protocols.
Ransomware-Proof
AMI
Backup
data often becomes a target of ransomware attacks, rendering data protection
efforts useless. NAKIVO Backup & Replication v10.6 is now available for
deployment as a hardened Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to increase backup data
resilience to ransomware. By deploying the solution as an AMI running Ubuntu
Server, customers can use the local repository deployed with the AMI to create
immutable backups. Immutability cannot be lifted, not even by a superuser. The
backups stay protected from modification, deletion and encryption by ransomware
for the time period specified.
Microsoft
365 Groups Backup
Microsoft 365 Groups is a cross-application feature that promotes
teamwork and powers collaboration across Microsoft's suite of business apps. The new functionality in NAKIVO Backup
& Replication v10.6 allows customers to back up and recover group mailboxes
and group sites and quickly restore workflows in case of accidental or
malicious data loss.
Backup
from HPE Nimble Storage Snapshots
Backup
from regular VM snapshots can be time-consuming and resource-heavy in large
infrastructures. The new feature provides a more efficient backup alternative
for VMware vSphere VMs hosted on HPE Nimble Storage devices. By creating
backups directly from Nimble Storage snapshots, customers have the flexibility
of creating more recovery points while saving time and reducing the impact of
data protection on production environments.
External
Database Support
Version
10.6 supports using an external database for the solution's main component
instead of the built-in database. Switching to an external PostgreSQL database
improves the solution's reliability and performance as the infrastructure
grows. This also allows the solution to handle higher loads and take advantage
of more resources. The solution can also conduct a performance capability check
of the current workload and recommend migrating to an external database if
necessary.
Feature

The 10.6
version of NAKIVO Backup & Replication is already available for download.
Customers can either update their version of the solution or install the 15-day
Free Trial.
