Agent-Based VM Backup and Recovery

You can use the agent-based backup approach in NAKIVO Backup & Replication to discover and back up virtual machines. For the list of supported hypervisors, refer to Feature Requirements.

The following recovery scenarios are supported for VMs protected using the agent-based backup approach:

• Bare metal recovery to the same hypervisor (see Physical Machine Backup).

• File-level recovery

• Object-level recovery

• Universal object recovery

  Notes

  • Immutability is supported.

  • To resolve the possible controller incompatibility when recovering to the guest hypervisor (for example, you cannot boot to ISO of bare-metal recovery), consider changing the controller to VMware SCSI.

For system requirements, refer to the Supported Platforms page.

For a full list of supported backup/backup copy jobs destinations, see the corresponding section in Feature Requirements.
