Everything Your Business Needs
to Protect Its Data

NAKIVO Backup & Replication delivers a complete data protection platform — from fast daily backups to automated disaster recovery — in a single, lightweight solution.

Most Popular
⚡

Instant VM Recovery

Boot any virtual machine directly from a compressed backup in under 2 minutes. No full restore needed — ideal when a production VM crashes and every second counts.

Ransomware-Proof
🔒

Immutable Backup

Create immutable backup copies using S3 Object Lock or local immutability. Ransomware cannot encrypt, delete, or alter immutable copies — your last line of defence.

🔄

VM Replication

Continuously replicate VMware or Hyper-V virtual machines to a secondary site or cloud with near-zero RPO. Fail over in minutes without waiting for a full restore.

📧

Microsoft 365 Backup

Back up Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Microsoft does not guarantee long-term data retention — NAKIVO ensures you can recover deleted items for as long as you need.

☁

Cloud Backup & Tiering

Back up directly to AWS S3, Azure Blob, Wasabi, or Backblaze B2. Automatically tier aging backups from fast local storage to low-cost cloud for cost-efficient long-term retention.

🧪

Automated DR Testing

Verify backup recoverability automatically — without impacting production. NAKIVO boots backup VMs in an isolated network, takes a screenshot, and emails you the proof every night.

💽

Physical Server Backup

Protect Windows and Linux physical servers with agent-based backup. Recover files, folders, or entire servers to physical or virtual hardware — cross-platform recovery included.

📉

Global Deduplication

NAKIVO's source-side deduplication and compression reduce backup storage footprint by up to 68%. Block-level incremental processing means backups run fast and storage costs stay low.

🗂

Granular Recovery

Recover individual emails, calendar items, files, Active Directory objects, or SQL/Oracle database records — without restoring an entire VM or server. Save hours on every recovery task.

Platform Coverage

One Solution for
Every Environment

NAKIVO protects every workload type from a single web-based console — no separate agents or products required.

🖥

VMware vSphere

Agentless backup and replication for vSphere VMs, vCenter clusters, vSAN, and vCloud Director environments.

Agentless
🔷

Microsoft Hyper-V

Backup and replication for Hyper-V VMs on standalone hosts and Windows Server Failover Clusters.

🟠

Nutanix AHV

Native backup for Nutanix AHV VMs without snapshot-based impact on hypervisor performance.

Native API
☁

AWS EC2

Back up and replicate Amazon EC2 instances. Store copies on-premises, in S3, or in another AWS region for geo-redundancy.

Cross-Region
📧

Microsoft 365

Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive backup with unlimited retention and granular item recovery.

SaaS Backup
💻

Physical Servers

Agent-based backup for Windows and Linux physical servers. Recover to physical or virtual environments (P2V).

P2V Recovery
🗄

Oracle & SQL

Application-aware backup for Oracle databases and Microsoft SQL Server. Recover individual tables or entire databases.

App-Aware
📁

NAS & File Shares

Protect CIFS/SMB and NFS file shares on NAS devices from QNAP, Synology, and other vendors.

NAS Native
Best Practice

The 3-2-1-1 Backup Strategy —
Built into NAKIVO

NIFTY designs every NAKIVO deployment around the 3-2-1-1 rule — the gold standard for ransomware-resilient data protection adopted by global enterprises.

3
Copies of Data

Keep three copies of your data: the production dataset plus two backups. If one fails, you always have another.

2
Different Media

Store backups on two different storage types — e.g., local NAS and cloud object storage — to eliminate single points of failure.

1
Offsite Copy

Keep at least one copy offsite — in a DR data centre or cloud — to survive fire, flood, or facility failure.

1
Immutable Copy

Keep at least one copy immutable (air-gapped or object-locked). Ransomware cannot touch what it cannot write to.

FAQ

Common Questions about
NAKIVO in the UAE

What does NAKIVO Backup & Replication protect?
NAKIVO protects VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, AWS EC2, Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive), Oracle databases, physical Windows/Linux servers, and NAS devices — all managed from a single browser-based console.
How does NAKIVO protect against ransomware?
NAKIVO creates immutable backup copies using S3 Object Lock or local immutability on supported NAS. Immutable copies cannot be encrypted, deleted, or modified — even by a ransomware attack or a compromised administrator account. Combined with offsite replication, this forms a complete ransomware-resilient 3-2-1-1 backup strategy.
How fast can NAKIVO recover a failed virtual machine?
NAKIVO's Instant VM Recovery boots a virtual machine directly from a compressed, deduplicated backup repository in under 2 minutes — with no need to restore the full VM image first. Once the VM is operational, storage is migrated to production in the background. Full recovery to original or alternate hardware is also supported for physical workloads.
Does NAKIVO back up Microsoft 365?
Yes. NAKIVO backs up Exchange Online mailboxes and calendars, Microsoft Teams chats and channel files, SharePoint Online sites and document libraries, and OneDrive for Business files. This protects against accidental deletion, malicious deletion, ransomware, and data loss scenarios that Microsoft's built-in retention policies do not fully address. Retention periods in NAKIVO are unlimited and configured by you.
Can NAKIVO back up data to the cloud?
Yes. NAKIVO supports backup and replication targets including AWS S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, and any S3-compatible object storage. You can configure automatic tiering — backups start on fast local storage, then older recovery points are automatically moved to low-cost cloud storage based on your policy.
How is NAKIVO licensed and what does it cost?
NAKIVO uses per-workload licensing — you pay per VM, per physical server, per Microsoft 365 user, or per EC2 instance protected. There are no per-backup-job charges or hidden fees. NAKIVO is typically 50–70% less expensive than Veeam or Commvault for equivalent functionality.
