Nakivo Backup & Replication V5.6
With Screenshot Verification for VMware VM Backups
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on May 22, 2015 at 3:02 pmNakivo Inc. has released Backup & Replication v5.6.
This version provides the ability to instantly verify VMware VM backups by instantly recovering VMs from the compressed and deduplicated backup repository and sending a screenshot of the booted VMs as a proof of recoverability.
After a VM backup is completed, the Backup & Replication recovers the VM with Flash VM Boot, makes a screenshot of the booted OS, discards the recovered VM, and sends a report with the screenshot via email. This way VMware administrators ensure that VM backups are good and recoverable, and can provide screenshots as a proof to their management. Screenshot Verification can be run ad hoc or scheduled to run on a particular day.
“We are excited to introduce Nakivo Backup & Replication v5.6 with the new screenshot verification feature,” said Bruce Talley, CEO and co-founder, Nakivo. “Screenshot verification provides an effortless way to ensure that business-critical VMs are protected and can be recovered in case of a disaster.“
Nakivo enables protecting VMware environments more reliably, efficiently, and cost effectively. Backup & Replication is VMware-certified, purely agentless, and can be deployed on both Linux and Windows. Featuring a simple and intuitive Web UI, the product can backup and replicate VMware VMs onsite, offsite, and to private/public clouds. Backup & Replication supports live applications and databases, instantly recovers VMs, files, and application objects directly from compressed and de-duplicated VM backups, speeds up data transfer with network acceleration, and reduces data size with global deduplication and compression.
