Nakivo Backup & Replication V7 Software Integrated With Microsoft Active Directory

Nakivo Inc. announced that the upcoming Backup & Replication v7 will provide integration with Microsoft Active Directory.

Active Directory is a directory service and enables organizations to improve security, manageability, and scalability. Backup & Replication v7 will enable mapping Active Directory groups to the software user roles, which will allow domain users to log in to the software with their domain credentials. Integration with Active Directory will enable organizations to align it with their security policy and simplify user access to Backup & Replication.

v7 will further improve backup manageability by introducing the activities tab, which will provide a bird’s eye view of all activities occurring in the product, such as running jobs, file and object recovery sessions, as well as repository maintenance tasks. The new feature will enable backup administrators to better monitor and manage data protection activities.

This version will also provide a way to delete VM backups in bulk. VM backups that do not belong to any job or backups that are older than a specified time frame can be filtered out, reviewed, and deleted with a single click. This feature improves VM backup manageability and simplifies removal to free up space.

Addition to above, company previously announced following features in v7:

Hyper-V support: Backup, replication, and recovery of Hyper-V 2016 and 2012 VMs
vSphere v6.5 support backup, replication, and recovery for vSphere 6.5
Skip swap file: Automated swap file exclusion in Windows-based and Linux-based Hyper-V and VMware, Inc.‘ VMs to improve VM backup performance and reduce storage space.

“Integration with Microsoft Active Directory will enable SME organizations to seamlessly incorporate Nakivo Backup & Replication v7 in their virtualized and cloud environments, while improving data protection security and manageability,” said Bruce Talley, CEO and co-founder, Nakivo.
