Comprehensive data protection supports diverse IT environments
Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products. It supports cross-platform backup and recovery, allowing customers to back up from one platform and recover to another. The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use. In addition to virtual machine backups, the platform supports physical server backups, file backups, and database backups. This comprehensive support allows customers to back up most IT resources, including the public cloud, within one platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This enables us to do quick granular file recovery as and when required but also to do whole-site relocation in the case of a total loss scenario."
"We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied."
"This product was going to be a temporary solution at the start of our journey but ended up becoming a mainstay in our portfolio of products that we can't live without."
"NAKIVO is easy to use and pretty easy to set up."
"Nakivo has enabled me to concentrate on other tasks without worrying about the daily backups."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"All in all, a very good company to deal with; I would highly recommend their backup products, as they work extremely well, and the whole product is valuable in every sense of the word."
"It is easy to manage all of the individual backup jobs, check the status every day, and it can even send an email to keep us informed."
"The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use."
"Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products."
 

Cons

"Space is always an issue and we try to backup just the files in certain folders, which the users are aware of."
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability."
"There are features that we would like to be integrated such as the ability to exclude directories, the creation of an image for bare metal restore as well as the creation of Plesk integration to use NAKIVO as a Plesk backup tool."
"I would like to see support for backing up from other platforms, such as physical machines."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."

"Talk to the sales department about all of the possibilities, as they will help you to find the best solution for your setup."
