NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Backup & Replication is a highly efficient and cost-effective data protection solution renowned for its performance and affordability, particularly for VMware, Hyper-V, and Amazon EC2 environments. It packs enterprise-grade features—like instant VM recovery, site recovery orchestration, and backup to tape—into a product that is accessible for SMBs and MSPs. The software is lightweight, can be deployed as a virtual appliance or on NAS devices, and offers impressive backup and replication speeds. Its transparent pricing and perpetual licensing options provide excellent value. NAKIVO is ideal for small to midsize businesses running virtualized infrastructure who need robust features without the enterprise price tag. It compares favorably by delivering core Veeam-like functionality (instant recovery, verification) at a significantly lower cost, though its ecosystem and third-party integrations are less extensive.
