Nakivo Backup & Replication V6.1 for VMware Backup and Recovery

Nakivo Inc. announced Backup & Replication v6.1.

This version improves VMware backup performance, speeds up recovery, and simplifies backup management.

Exchange is the platform for e-mail, calendaring, and messaging. Backup & Replication v6.1 extends the support of its Instant Object Recovery feature to the latest releases of Exchange: 2016 and 2013. Now, customers can instantly browse, search, and recover Exchange 2016 and 2013 objects (such as emails) directly from compressed and deduplicated VMware VM backups, without the need to restore the entire VM first.

In addition to improved recovery, Backup & Replication v6.1 can also truncate log files of Exchange 2016 and 2013. The transaction logs record all changes that are made to an Exchange Server database. Over time, these log files accumulate and can consume all of the available disk space, if not periodically removed.

To improve VMware backup speed, Backup & Replication v6.1 introduces the ‘Hot Add’ feature, which enables the product to read and write data directly from/to VM datastores, bypassing LAN. By automatically using Hot Add, this version offloads production LAN from the data protection traffic while increasing the VMware backup and recovery speed.

Backup & Replication v6.1 simplifies VMware backup management by introducing job chaining. With this feature, a job can finish its tasks and then trigger another job in a chain. This way, for example, it’s easy to set up a chain where a VM backup job saves data locally, and then triggers a Backup Copy job that sends backup copies to Amazon cloud.

“We are excited to release the new Nakivo Backup & Replication v6.1,” said Bruce Talley, CEO and co-founder, Nakivo. “We are committed to delivering functionality that helps our customers meet their RTO and RPO objectives for VMware backup and recovery.“

Backup & Replication is VMware-certified, agentless, can be installed on Linux and Windows, deployed as a pre-configured VMware Virtual Appliance and AWS Amazon Machine Image, and can also be installed directly on Synology, Inc.‘s NAS to create a high-performance VM backup appliance.

Backup & Replication has a simple and intuitive Web interface, supports live applications and databases, provides instant recovery of VMs, files, and application objects directly from compressed and deduplicated backups, speeds up data transfer with network acceleration, and reduces data size with global deduplication and compression.
