NAKIVO Backup & Replication vs Veeam Backup & Replication

• Creating G-F-S backups of virtual servers in a completely automated fashion.
• Restoring data easily when needed, either as specific individual files or entire servers (and the run-from-backup option is just neat, although we've rarely had use for that).
• Storing Data in a de-duplicated, compressed format has allowed us to store many many backups in a space that is many many times smaller than it would take to keep multiple full copies of each server.

• It offers various backup types. If the infrastructure can handle the forever incremental or reverse incremental options, these are very efficient on space usage.
• The interface is easy to use. There are a lot of options within the software, but it's never felt overwhelming to figure out and adjust job settings.
• Restores are simple and offer great options. Even full VM restores are easy to do. File-level restores offer multiple ways to restore files, such as to a different location, or the same, then making copies of any collision files.

• You can only backup virtual machines.
• Although you can easily set up NAKIVO, the more specific or complex your configuration, the more reliant you become on tech support. Knowing Linux would be a big plus with these types of configurations.
• Updating the software could be a little more user-friendly.

• Veeam Backup and Recovery performance is particularly reliant on the performance capability of your backup infrastructure. Your network and disk resources WILL get taxed, so make sure to prepare properly. If your backup infrastructure is slow, your backups will be slow.
• Backup and Recovery does have a wizard to make recommendations on how to build out the backup infrastructure for large environments, so you should have experts involved in the proper configuration.
• Some backup/replication jobs do not process in one day. Example - We have some VMs that are quite large, so the processing of VMs can take several days when we change disk sizes.

• Provides a robust service at an affordable cost.
• Intuitive web interface along with the technology itself provides a path for quick, easy restores.
• Not supporting S3 compatible storage for off-site storage of backups has required us to add an additional piece of software to the workflow.

• Positive in compliance with DR and backup/recovery policies.
• Positive ROI although smaller organizations may struggle to justify the cost.
• Positive in terms of man-hours needed for support. Generally speaking, it doesn't need much support, once setup it can often be "forgotten."
