Solution to backup VMs to the Cloud

Keeping VM backups in the same location as the enterprise's main IT system is unsafe, because any local problem can make both the enterprise VM and their backup inaccessible. . NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides a great way to protect important business data by allowing businesses to send VM backups to AWS or Azure.

Keeping business backups on the Cloud provides a number of benefits, including:

Store backup VM safely
Storing enterprise VM backups to the Cloud makes them safe even when the enterprise local system is not available. Whether an enterprise's website is under attack from a vandal, ransomware, flood or fire, businesses can rest assured that their VMware, Hyper-V and EC2 backups are unaffected.

Flexible VM backup storage
Cloud environment can adapt immediately to the needs of the business, because there is no such thing as "not enough space" on the Cloud: businesses can expand their storage space on demand. Instead of selecting, ordering, installing and configuring a new server or hard drive for an enterprise's VMware or Hyper-V environment, businesses can perform a few clicks to add space to the saved drive. archive your backup.

VM data recovery is easy
When they're on the Cloud, businesses can access their VM backups anytime and from anywhere, even from home or on the go using a mobile device. In addition, if disaster strikes, businesses can easily recover files, applications or entire VMs from the Cloud and restore enterprise VMware or Hyper-V systems much faster than backup solutions. other.

Affordable VM backup hosting
When backing up the VM to the Cloud, businesses can use their existing VMware or Hyper-V systems. This results in a lower total cost of offsite backups. Instead of buying and configuring offsite backup systems, businesses only need to use their existing hardware. Businesses also benefit from a time and maintenance perspective, as they do not need to add and maintain new VMware or Hyper-V environments.

Simple VM backup management
Managing VM backups to the Cloud is much simpler than managing backups based on tapes, drives, or maintaining an entire secondary VMware or Hyper-V environment for storing VM backups. Instead of spending hours and hours managing and moving enterprise VM backups off the local network, businesses can take advantage of the "set and forget" method in NAKIVO Backup & Replication by scheduling backups. VM to Cloud.

Transfer and store data securely
Ensuring data security is one of the major challenges in Cloud. To provide maximum protection for enterprise backups, NAKIVO Backup & Replication can use AES 256-bit encryption to secure enterprise data both during transmission and storage. AES 256 is an encryption standard that protects information and uses financial transactions.

Backup VM quickly
Submitting VM backups may be delayed due to limited bandwidth. To speed up data transfer, NAKIVO Backup & Replication offers Network Acceleration, which uses data compression and traffic reduction techniques. On average, VM backup jobs can run up to 2 times faster when the Network Acceleration feature is enabled.

Backup small VMs
While Cloud providers offer Cloud storage at an affordable price, NAKIVO Backup & Replication helps reduce offsite backup costs with the following features:

Backup VM incremental: By default, all backup jobs in NAKIVO Backup & Replication are incremental. This means the product does not need to periodically run and store full VM backups, which takes more time to perform and takes up more storage space.

Ignore swap files and partitions: Swap files on Windows OS and swap partitions on Linux OS act as a virtual virtual memory, storing runtime data temporarily not used by RAM. Because the content of the swap file is constantly changing, every time the business runs a VM backup, the swap files or partitions are included in the incremental data. NAKIVO Backup & Replication automatically ignores this swap data during data protection operations, resulting in a smaller (and thus faster) backup.

Backups: All VM backups in the backup storage drive will be automatically copied at the block level across the backup storage drive.

Compress on backup: NAKIVO Backup & Replication automatically compresses VM backups to reduce the storage capacity in backup storage. When an enterprise creates a storage drive, it can choose from several levels of compression.
