Agent-Based VM Backup and Recovery

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 Agent-Based VM Backup and Recovery.

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.

    • If a controller incompatibility occurs when recovering to the guest hypervisor (e.g., the system cannot boot to the bare-metal recovery ISO), change the controller type to VMware SCSI.

For system requirements, refer to the System Requirements page.

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