New Features in v5.6

  • Screenshot Verification: NAKIVO Backup & Replication v5.6 provides an automated way to instantly verify VM backups by sending a screenshot of the recovered VM as a proof of recoverability. After a VM backup is completed, the Screenshot Verification feature recovers the VM with Flash VM Boot, makes a screenshot of the booted OS, discards the recovered VM, and sends a report with the screenshot via email. Screenshot Verification can also be run ad hoc or scheduled to run on a particular day. This way you can not only trust that you have a good backup, but also see (and show to your management) that VMs are recoverable.
  • Configuration Export & Import: Allows easy migration of complete product configuration to a new deployment. System configuration, such as jobs, user credentials, inventory items, transporter and backup repository settings, is exported into a single export bundle.The export bundle can be applied to a new deployment. This functionality reduces migration time to several minutes.
  • New Report Types: The following new report types have been added:
    • Point in Time Report: provides data on a particular job run.
    • History Report: provides data on job runs that occurred during a specified time period.
