Advantages of  Cloud Backup: 

• Cloud environments are designed in such a way that you never end up with insufficient storage space. Backup repositories can be scale up quickly based on the needs.  Storage space can be released and accordingly billed in the cloud using pay as you go.

 

• Since the Nakivo backup stored in cloud, it can be retrieved anytime & anywhere. It also can be used to migrate the servers to cloud quickly.

 

• Easy backup Management. If you manage backup in on-premise, Take the backup, offsite the backups and manage the whole backup infrastructure.

 

Is it safe to store data on cloud ? 

• Ensuring data security is one of the major challenges in the cloud. To provide maximum protection for your backups, NAKIVO Backup & Replication can use AES 256-bit encryption and secure your data both in flight and at rest. AES 256 is a de facto encryption standard protecting financial information and transactions worldwide.

 

• Sending VM backups offsite can be slow due to limited bandwidth. To speed up data transfer, NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides the Network Acceleration feature, which uses data compression and traffic reduction techniques. On average, VM backup jobs can run 2X faster when Network Acceleration feature is turned on.

How Nakivo can help to reduce the storage use in cloud ? 

Nakivo help to reduce cloud storage use by using various methods.

• Always Skip swap files and partitions: Swap files on Windows OS and swap partitions on Linux OS serve as a “virtual memory” and store temporary runtime data that is not in use by RAM. The contents of the swap file change constantly, so each time you run a VM backup, the swap file or partition is included in the backup. NAKIVO Backup & Replication automatically skips swap files and partitions in VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, and AWS EC2 instances, which results in faster and smaller backups.

 

• Nakivo uses deduplication. All VM backups in a backup repository are automatically deduplicated at the block level across an entire backup repository.

 

• NAKIVO Backup & Replication automatically compresses VM backups to reduce the amount of storage they occupy in the backup repository.
