with NAKIVO on Raspberry Pi
Create a Robust Backup Appliance
Install the NAKIVO solution on Raspberry Pi and easily integrate the solution to build a powerful backup appliance that offers data backup, recovery, replication, deduplication and ransomware protection.
Guarantee Ransomware Resilience
Store backups on detached storage devices offline to prevent modification or deletion by ransomware infection. You can also send backups directly to the cloud and enable immutability to prevent ransomware infection of your backup data.
Automate Disaster Recovery Sequences
With the Raspberry Pi backup software, you can use the Site Recovery feature to create and automate disaster recovery (DR) sequences such as: failover, VM shutdown, network mapping, failback and more. Test your preset workflows without affecting your production environment and initiate them with a single click in case of a disaster.
Lower Storage Space Consumption and Costs
Perform incremental backups using native change tracking technologies to copy only the modified blocks of data. You can further reduce the size of your backups with built-in compression and deduplication tools. The NAKIVO solution also allows you to skip swap files and exclude partitions during backup and replication workflows.
Send Backups to Different Storages
Implement effective storage tiering by sending backups to multiple destinations. You can store backups onsite for quick recovery or send them directly to attached storage devices to keep them separate from production environments. In addition, you can send backup copies to offsite storage or to a public or private cloud like Backblaze B2, Wasabi, Amazon S3, Azure Blob and other S3-compatible platforms. You can also keep backups on tape for long-term retention.
Streamline Data Protection Activities
Schedule routine data protection tasks with the Calendar dashboard to avoid overlaps. Automate backup and recovery processes using built-in features like the Policy-Based Data Protection that allows you to back up workloads based on pre-configured criteria or use Job Chaining that you can use to set jobs to run automatically one after the other.
Perform Full or Granular Recovery
Using NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can instantly boot VMs directly from backups stored on Raspberry Pi with the Flash VM Boot feature. You can also perform granular recovery to restore individual files or application objects to their original or to custom locations.
Enhance Backup Performance
Minimize the impact of data protection activities on your network by setting LAN-Free Data Transfer modes (HotAdd and Direct SAN Access). You can also optimize the use of network resources by enabling Network Acceleration or Advanced Bandwidth Throttling.
