HTTP APIs

NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides a simple HTTP API that lets you automate and orchestrate VM backup, replication, and recovery tasks. The API provides complete coverage of the product features, that is, you can use the API to perform all tasks that are available in the product's Web interface.

The API allows you to easily integrate NAKIVO Backup & Replication with monitoring, automation, and orchestration solutions to reduce time spent on backup management and reduce data protection costs. To speed up integration time, the API comes as part of an Integration Kit, which includes API documentation and code examples.

By using the API, you can:

  • Save time on backup administration by automating the data protection process from VM provisioning to VM decommissioning.

  • Ensure an uninterrupted backup process by monitoring the health status of the product components.

  • Prevent failed jobs and out of space errors by monitoring backup repositories.

  • Reduce storage space by automating backup decommissioning.

  • Improve compliance by automating data protection reporting.

  • Align data protection with your business processes by triggering VM backup and replication jobs with your orchestration and automation tools.

  • Increase recovery speed by automating recovery.
