Native Change Tracking with NAKIVO

Improved Performance

Incremental backup and replication workflows save only modified data blocks (increments), allowing you to boost workflow speed and save storage space. You need to perform a lengthy and resource-hungry full backup or replication only once. Then you can switch to faster and more efficient incremental workflows.

Instant Change Tracking

NAKIVO Backup & Replication relies on native change tracking technologies that automatically record all data changes to log files. This way, the solution can improve the speed of backup, replication and recovery by instantly identifying changed data blocks without scanning the entire machine.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication supports the following native technologies:

Changed Block Tracking (CBT) for VMware vSphere
Resilient Change Tracking (RCT) for Microsoft Hyper-V
Changed Regions Tracking (CRT) for Nutanix AHV
Native change tracking for Microsoft 365

Log Verification

Ensure that native change tracking technologies don’t overstate the amount of changed data for VMware vSphere VMs and Nutanix AHV VMs. For this, you can additionally run the NAKIVO Backup & Replication proprietary change tracking, which is more reliable but slowlier than using CBT or CRT alone.

Workflow Diversity

You can enable native change tracking for backup and replication workflows of VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Nutanix AHV VMs. You can also use Microsoft’s native change tracking (delta query) for Microsoft 365 backups. For other workloads NAKIVO Backup & Replication uses a proprietary method and scans data to find changed blocks.

"With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, the university saved time and money, while gaining peace of mind. I now spend the majority of my time not on backup administration, but on other IT-related tasks."

Edwardson A. Pedragosa Jr., Network Administrator at the Asia-Pacific International University

"NAKIVO’s fast VM backup and VM replication keep our critical VMs running at all times. If our VMware VMs failed, we would only need a couple of minutes to recover with VM failover and failback."

Noel Peden, Applications Development Supervisor at Boise Cascade

"With NAKIVO Backup & Replication installed on QNAP NAS, the backup is 2.5X faster! We found a professional solution that covers all our needs, saves money, and provides reliability."

Mickaël Masquelin, IT Department Manager at the IEMN

"With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, every hour that we save on VM backup administration can be translated into cost savings. NAKIVO Backup & Replication is resource-efficient in terms of installation and configuration. NAKIVO Backup & Replication is just what we needed."

Samuel Riley, IT Manager at MyoKardia

"In NAKIVO Backup & Replication, we found a stable VM backup solution that lets us back up VMs faster and recover VMs in minutes, which is extremely helpful in order to keep our business operations available at all times."
