Overall Satisfaction with NAKIVO Backup & Replication
NAKIVO Backup & Replication is being used across the entire organization, but only for backups of both Windows and Linux VMs currently. We may start using the replication features in the near future.
- 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.
- Needs to support more flavors of Linux. Seeing "The operating system of the selected recovery server is not supported" is just not cool, man, not cool.
- Should allow more than one user regardless of license level. Even small companies have more than one IT person who might need to access it and sharing one ID is never a good idea.
- It's frustrating when we get job failures because maintenance tasks are being done (which makes things like repositories unavailable). Maintenance tasks should be paused and then resume after the higher priority job completes.
- No tapes!
- Seriously, it's extremely easy to use and once set up, requires essentially zero intervention (again, unlike tapes) which results in massive operational time savings.
Every backup solution I've used in the past required tapes. Not only were the tape-based parts of the software always flaky, the software itself was always a bit buggy, from Symantec to BackupExec, etc. NAKIVO Backup & Replication doesn't involve tapes and it's very, very rock solid.
