Nakivo Gives Away Backup and Replication V4 Not For Resale Licenses to VMware Professionals

NAKIVO Inc. provides free Not for Resale (NFR) licenses to VMware professionals: current VMUG members, VMware vExperts, VCIs, VCPs, VTSPs, and VSPs can receive a two-socket NFR license of NAKIVO Backup and Replication v4.

The NFR license keys are available for non-production use only, including educational, lab testing, evaluation, training, and demonstration purposes.

Version 4 adds features to NAKIVO Backup and Replication. Instant Exchange Objects Recovery enables browsing, searching, and recovering MS Exchange objects – such as emails – directly from compressed and deduplicated VMware VM backups, without the need to restore the entire VM first. Exchange Logs Truncation removes Exchange server logs after a successful backup thus saving disk space. Backup Verification checks VM backups at the block level and ensures that the data written to the backup repository is identical to the data that was read from the source VM, thus verifying that application objects, files, and the entire VM can be recovered.

“NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a fast and reliable solution to protect and recover VMware VMs onsite, offsite, and in the cloud. We are excited to support VMware community and provide VMware professionals with a free VM backup, replication, and recovery solution for their home and non-production labs,” said Bruce Talley, CEO and founder, NAKIVO.

Built for virtualization, it has been certified by VMware and offers VM data protection feature set for SMB, enterprise, and cloud provider virtualized environments. The product is agentless, backups and replicates VMware VMs onsite over LAN and offsite over (a slow) WAN, supports live applications and databases, enables granular and full VM recovery, speeds up data transfer with network acceleration, and reduces data size with global deduplication and compression.
