Virtualisation and cloud backup specialist Nakivo releases version 7.5 of its flagship Backup & Replication software, with additions including vSphere 6.7 support, advanced bandwidth throttling, cross-platform recovery and compatibility with two more storage devices.
Compatibility with vSphere 6.7 allows customers to seamlessly use Nakivo Backup & Replication to protect upgraded VMware environments, and benefit from features improving backup performance. Meanwhile advanced bandwidth throttling-- an update of the feature from v7.4-- allows for greater convenience and flexibility by creating global rules, as well as setting data transfer speed limits on a per-job basis.
Cross-platform recovery eliminates the need for multiple data protection solutions. Users can export virtual data from VMware and Hyper-V backups into VMDK, VHD or VHDX formats for restoration on a host of their choice, and the feature even handles other data protection purposes. For instance, it allows one to switch from one virtualisation platform to another by migrating VM data between the two. It also handles long-term VM backup data archival.
Nakivo Backup & Replication v7.5 works seamlessly with EMC Data Domain Boost via integration with the BoostFS plugin. The company says the combination boosts backup speeds by up to 50%, and decreases backup size by as much as 94%. As for supported NAS devices, the update adds the Netgear ReadyNAS server line to the currently supported Asustor, QNAP, Synology and WD NAS servers.
“Here at Nakivo, we are looking to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations while staying on top of developments in the industry,” the company says. “We are continuously working on new versions of the product, adding new features and enhancing the existing ones according to customer feedback and the ever-evolving technological landscape.”
