Enterprise-Grade Disaster Recovery and MSP Capabilities Now Available
NAKIVO, a leading provider of data protection solutions, has released NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11.1, marking a significant leap forward in protecting virtual environments and empowering managed service providers (MSPs).
After completing the closed beta testing phase, v11.1 has been released with enhanced capabilities for virtualized infrastructures and enabling MSPs to deliver secure, scalable services across multiple client environments.
Key Enhancements
“This release turns NAKIVO Backup & Replication into a core asset for businesses aiming to navigate the complexities of data protection and management,” said Bruce Talley, CEO of NAKIVO.
Enhanced Protection for Virtual Environments : Version 11.1 transforms how organizations protect and recover their virtual workloads with breakthrough capabilities across multiple hypervisor platforms.
Enhanced Disaster Recovery Support for Proxmox VE
NAKIVO has expanded Proxmox VE support with a comprehensive disaster recovery toolkit. Flash VM Boot technology launches virtual machines directly from backup storage—eliminating traditional recovery delays that can stretch for hours.
Continuous real-time replication ensures business-critical Proxmox VMs maintain synchronized copies at secondary sites, ready for immediate failover in case the primary infrastructure fails.
In v11.1, NAKIVO for Proxmox VE backup introduced automated backup verification with screenshots of successfully recovered test VMs.
VM template backup and restoration capabilities ensure infrastructure consistency.. Direct recovery from tape eliminates the need for staging repositories.
Transaction log truncation automatically reclaims storage space after successful backup operations.
Real-Time Replication for VMware
For VMware environments that require near-zero data loss, VMware backup from NAKIVO now delivers real-time replication with recovery point objectives as low as one second.
The solution automates the complete deployment workflow, installing the required IO Filters and Journal Services across source and target hosts without manual intervention.
Integration with Site Recovery orchestration enables one-click failover to real-time replicas during outages, while non-disruptive testing validates disaster recovery plans against production workloads.
All replication traffic is protected by AES-256 encryption, securing data in transit across WAN connections.
MSPs Gain Competitive Advantage
The enhanced MSP Direct Connect architecture fundamentally reimagines how service providers protect client infrastructure.
By eliminating inbound port requirements on tenant networks, the NAKIVO MSP backup solution eliminates a primary attack surface that can complicate the delivery of managed services.
All communication between the MSP Director and client-side transporters is encrypted, preventing interception and unauthorized access.
Version 11.1 expands Direct Connect support beyond VMware to include Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, and physical infrastructure. This enables MSPs to protect different client environments through a unified management interface.
This architecture allows service providers to scale operations efficiently while maintaining stringent security postures that satisfy compliance requirements and customer expectations.
Multilingual Interface Support
Version 11.1 now includes complete interface localization across seven languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Polish, and Chinese.
Language support is extended throughout the entire product experience, from administrative configuration to job creation wizards and recovery workflows.
System-generated reports, email notifications, and recovery verification screenshots can be localized to the selected language, minimizing errors in multilingual operations centers.
Granular Backup for Physical Machines
New granular backup capabilities for physical Windows and Linux systems allow organizations to protect specific volumes or files rather than entire machines.
This targeted approach reduces backup windows, network utilization, and storage consumption by focusing exclusively on business-critical data.
Physical backups integrate with the complete NAKIVO storage ecosystem, including cloud repositories, local storage, deduplication appliances, tape libraries, and network shares.
Encryption protects data throughout its lifecycle, while immutability options in cloud and local storage and air-gapped tape archival ensure ransomware resilience.
Files can be recovered directly to SMB/NFS shares, through email, or downloaded from a browser.
Availability and Access
NAKIVO Backup & Replication v11.1 is available for download. Organizations can evaluate all the features with the 15-day free trial with no capacity restrictions or feature limitations.
“With an interface supporting 7 languages, streamlined MSP direct connect, and seamless recovery and failover automation, v11.1 puts easily-accessible data protection within immediate reach—no matter the environment. v11.1 truly builds on our 13 years of backup and disaster recovery innovations.” noted Bruce Talley.
