Likelihood to Recommend

Perfect for reliably backing up VMs and regular data backups. Just set it up, schedule it once, and forget about it! Restoration is quick and effective. However, it tends to fail to create quiesced (application-aware) snapshots. Certain VM environments might not be supported or need a more careful compatibility check when setting up with NAKIVO.
