Nakivo Backup and Replication 9.0 Beta – What's New?
Windows Server Backup – NAKIVO Backup & Replication v9.0 Beta tackles the challenge of protecting a physical or hybrid environment by allowing for incremental Windows Server backup and recovery. With the application-aware backup mode, you can be sure that applications and databases, such as Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, and SQL, running on your physical servers are backed up in a transactionally consistent state.

As you can see, Nakivo keeps innovating and provides very good price/performance ratio for enterprises which has the needs for backing up their virtual infrastructure. Their product can be installed on the physical or virtual system, Windows or Linux. Or you can also install their software on many popular NAS devices.
You may wonder whether is it good to have such an environment? Well, there are certainly some advantages to have a NAS device with backup software integrated. With the Nakivo Backup appliance, all VM data protection components are together, in a single system. One of the first advantages is fast to deploy and easy to manage. Another advantage might be the fact, that the system does not consume its own resources within your environment.
Also to consider is the fact that you are getting an all-in-one (hardware, backup software, backup storage, and data deduplication) in a single box which means that things work out with more efficiency and with lower bottlenecks other than sending the bits over via the network.
Off-Site Backups – Nakivo can also send the backups to offsite, such as Amazon, through AWS Marketplace which is simple, reliable, and affordable way to backup or replication of paid AWS EC2 instances, sold through the AWS Marketplace. There is also a possibility to set up a Cross-Region and Cross-account backup where AWS EC2 instances can be backed up to the same AWS region, a different AWS region, or to an on-premises location.
