HardSoft Systems Ltd is proud to announce a reseller partnership with NAKIVO to provide their NAKIVO VMware solution. NAKIVO provides VM backup, replication and recovery for VMware environments.

This partnership reflects HardSoft’s commitment to provide our customers with data protection and data recovery solutions. The ability for businesses of all sizes to not only have their data backed up but be able to quickly recover from a data loss or breach and be back in business quickly.

NAKIVO VMware Backup & Replication provides image-based VMware VM backup. You can run back up VMs on schedule or ad hoc, both locally over LAN and offsite over WAN. For each VM backup, you can save up to 1,000 recovery points and rotate them on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis.

All backup jobs are forever-incremental and use VMware Changed Block Tracking to quickly identify changed data, which results in fast backups.

To further boost backup speed, you can enable the LAN-free and Network Acceleration features. NAKIVO VMware Backup & Replication supports Exchange, Active Directory, MS SQL, SharePoint, and other applications and databases running in VMs, ensuring that all backups are consistent. To save storage space, all VM backups are automatically compressed and deduplicated across entire backup repository.

VM replication creates and maintains identical copies of source VMs on target ESXi hosts. VM replicas are regular VMs that are available in VMware vSphere, so if source VMs are unavailable, you can instantly recover by powering on VM replicas. On top of that, you can save up to 30 recovery points for each replica and roll back to a good recovery point at any time.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides an automated way to near-instantly verify VM backups. After a VM backup is completed, the product instantly recovers the VMs from its newly created backup, waits until the OS has booted, makes a screenshot of the OS, discards the test-recovered VM, and sends you a report with the screenshot via email. This way you can not only trust that you have a good backup, but also see (and show to your management) that backups are good and VMs can be recovered. NAKIVO VMware Backup & Replication automatically deduplicates all VM backups across an entire backup repository. Data deduplication works at the block level and ensures that only unique data blocks are saved. On top of that, deduplicated blocks are compressed to ensure that the least amount of space is used.
