Nakivo has announced that it has released NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6.2. The new version provides full support for paid AWS EC2 instances, sold through AWS Marketplace.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6.2 provides a simple, reliable, and affordable way to protect and recover AWS EC2 instances:

  • Full support for AWS EC2 instances sold through AWS Marketplace: NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6.2 now provides a simple, reliable, and affordable way to back up paid AWS EC2 instances, sold through the AWS Marketplace.
  • Native AWS EC2 instance replication: NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6.2 can create and maintain identical copies of AWS EC2 instances. The replicated AWS EC2 instances can be powered on at any time for a near-instant disaster recovery.
  • Native AWS EC2 instance backup: NAKIVO Backup & Replication v6.2 can perform a complete backup of AWS EC2 instances and their data stored on EBS volumes.
  • Automated Transporter deployment in AWS Cloud: In order to back up EC2 instances in an AWS region, a Transporter should be deployed in that region. During backup job creation, v6.2 will now suggest and automatically deploy a new Transporter, if it’s not available in a particular region.
  • Automated Transporter Instance start and shutdown in AWS: To save costs, Transporter instances in AWS can be automatically powered off if there are no tasks for them. Once a task is available for a particular AWS Transporter, v6.2 will power it on for the duration of the task.
  • Cross-region backup: AWS EC2 instances can be backed up to the same AWS region, a different AWS region, or to an on-premises location.
  • Cross-account backup: AWS EC2 instances can be backed up cross accounts, so if primary account credentials are compromised, a copy of EC2 instance backups remains intact on a different AWS account.
  • Application-aware backups: By default, AWS EC2 backups are application-aware and contain consistent data of Windows-based and Linux-based EC2 instances.
  • Global data deduplication: All AWS EC2 backups are automatically deduplicated at the block level. The data is further compressed to reduce the amount of used disk space.
  • Instant application object recovery: Microsoft Exchange objects (such as emails), and Microsoft Active Directory objects (such as users) can be instantly recovered directly from compressed and deduplicated AWS EC2 instance backups.
  • Instant file recovery: Files and folders of Windows-based and Linux-based AWS EC2 instances can be instantly recovered directly from compressed and deduplicated AWS EC2 instance backups.
  • Improved display of alarms and notifications: Job and group dashboards now aggregate alarms and notifications in the Info widget for a cleaner and a more consistent look.
