I've just uploaded almost 20GB of very important data on OneDrive. Documents, xlsx, pdfs mostly... Now I wonder about OneDrive's security and reliability. What is your point of view? Should I keep one more copy in other place?

Hello, community, let's gather here general and more scecific tips on how to speed up backups. Any suggestions and comments will be helpful. Thank you

Hello, @Loki Rodriguez, great idea! From my side I can recommend reading this worthwhile blog posts and references: How to Increase VM Backup Speed Increasing VM Backup and Replication Speed with Network Acceleration Network Acceleration Best Practices for Efficient Hyper-V VM Backup Advanced Bandwidth Throttling VMware Backup: Top 10 Best Practices Hyper-V Best Practices for Administration An Overview of Microsoft Office 365 Backup Best Practices

Hi Tape Volume doesn't move to original slot when it removed from drive.

I'm perfectly agree with TonioRoffo and Jim. Deduplication efficiency and incremental forever has been, from the beginning, one of the main reasons that made me choose Nakivo as the number one backup solution for my customers. The obligation to periodically perform full backups was, for some of my customers, extremely boring for obvious reasons of time and space consumption. Now I find myself having to destroy the repositories with all my backups to recreate them with the correct settings in order to be able to use them in "incremental forever" as I was always used to on previous versions from Nakivo. I think the change was indeed a bad idea.

Could I suggest you include these instructions for manual download and installation on DSM 7 for the current and future versions on the main Updates page (with suitable caveats/warnings). The Synology approval process is clear far too slow (it can take months for an update to appear, and even then it tends to lag behind the current version), so I suspect most of us using Nakivo on synology are now updating manually (and how to do so is becoming a FAQ).

@Official Moderator Nice tips. One more from me - use two-factor verification. It is a must

Hello, @Tayler Odling, of course if your data is important for you, keep it in multiple places, I recommend to have at least three copies of it, save it to two different types of media and at least one copy offsite. About Microsoft OneDrive, my point of view it is as safe as any other storage, but you should not rely only on one spot, though it provides encryption. Please, find great tips on OneDrive data safety and a list of the common mistakes that can influence your cloud security here: https://www.nakivo.com/blog/microsoft-onedrive-security/ Let me know if you need any additional assistance from me. I look forward to hearing from you, Tayler.

When I created this thread, I thought we would be mostly speaking about network load and its critical impact on backups. (Update: Yes, I have found this information if one of the references by @Official Moderator) Reducing the network load is the first I would do in a situation when you want to increase backup server performance.

Hello, @Hakim, I think you should find out more information about NAKIVO Backup for Ransomware Protection: https://www.nakivo.com/ransomware-protection/ Anti-ransomware software alone is not sufficient to protect your organization's data. Also I recommend reading best practices for ransomware protection and recovery: https://www.nakivo.com/ransomware-protection/white-paper/best-practices-for-ransomware-protection-and-recovery/ Sorry for the offtop, I just wanted to support your remark

Hello, guys two remarks from me - on one hand, anti-virus solutions can slow down saving and reading data from a disk, but on the other hand, ransomware issues can cause performance degradation. So you should always keep the balance

Hello, @tommy.cash, thank you for your post. Here is the list of the possible questions you should ask yourself before creating the Backup Policy of your University: 1) Frequency of system/application backups. 2) Frequency of network file backups. 3) Frequency of email backups. 4) Frequency of desktop backups. 5) Storage. 6) Recovery Testing. About Microsoft 365 Backup Policies - there are inbuilt configuration options in your account which can help to prevent data loss. Due to Microsoft's Shared Responsibility Model, it is necessary also to have a backup of your Microsoft 365 data, using a third-party solution as NAKIVO Backup & Replication. Please, check a useful how-to guide on setting up Microsoft 365 backup policies: https://www.nakivo.com/blog/setting-up-microsoft-office-365-backup-policies/

Hi, We have to periodically backup a few TBs of files (20) from a NAS to tape and the amount is increasing considerably over time. What will be the proper licensing to get so the pricing will not change based on the amount of data being backed up ? Thanks

For over a few years I still cannot get the screenshot verification up and running for a Windows Server (at this moment 2022). The VM Recovery boot is slow as the Windows Server is using iSCSI and because of that a Nakivo proxy is needed. So setup is: Synology NAS -> ESXi proxy -> ESXi recovery host. I already put the VMTools service as delayed start, changed the registry for a longer service timeout (ServicePipeTimeout to 240.000) and set the screenshot settings in Nakivo to: - VMs simultaneously: 1 - Recovery time: 30 min - Screenshot delay: 800 seconds. Is there anything else possible to get this to work? For example put the VMTools service as dependent on another important service?

Hi there, I hope everyone is doing fine. I have a very unique situation here preventing me to configure AD integration inside Nakivo. My domain was created using a single name, there is no dot with a second FQDN right after. Where it should be "Contoso.com", it is only "Contoso" for example. Nakivo won't let me click on apply and it marks the box with a red color, and it says "The value in this field is invalid". Do any of you have a workaround for this? Or can a fix be implemented? Thank you and regards, Luguta

Sign in on the Azure Video Indexer website, and then select Upload. After your video is uploaded, Azure Video Indexer starts indexing and analyzing the video. After Azure Video Indexer is done analyzing, you get an email with a link to your video. Regards, Diana

Forget my last post, got it working. Thanx, Oliver

Plug the external USB hard drive into the USB port of your physical machine. Launch VMware Workstation. Start your virtual machine. Click VM > Removable device > external_hard_drive_name, then click Connect.

What version of Ubuntu is used in the latest Nakivo provided virtual appliance?

i'm can't add vCenter to inventory with Nakivo. found error : An internal error has occurred. Reason: cannot find field: memoryTieringType (NoSuchFieldException). please suggest how to fix this error.

Any update on the ETA for this feature ? We are also asked to encrypt the tapes.

Since the vSphere virtual appliance won't upgrade the OS on its own what is the process to upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS to 22.04.1 LTS?

any update on this?

Hello, as the space on /root is not enough - and also you should NOT use /root for such downloads - I decided to cd into /volume1/share/temp [you will have to replace the share with a shared directory on your nas and create temp there] After that I could curl inside that directory and update nakivo to 10.7.2 with the updater.sh In that way it worked for me. Kind regards and happy new year @all Martin kamaste.it GmbH

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I'll contact you as requested to setup a time.

It still fails after I update, I don't know where is the error?

We have been using a Backup Copy job for a while to copy our primary backup repository to a secondary storage server with more space. We would now like to switch the current VMWare backup job to use the copy target instead. Currently we run our backup jobs in sequence, starting each job as a follow on from the previous. So this should mean that the Repository Copy is current each day after the jobs have all completed. What is the best way to change the target repository for our backup jobs? I cannot find anything in the doco or forum which suggests a method to do this. Thanks in advance

Thank you for your reply. This has worked well for us. Appreciated

@oron Thank you, too, for your valuable contribution to the NAKIVO Forum. Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Currently Synology nakivo version is only version 10.7.1 How do I upgrade to version 10.7.2? I will take my concerns to my agency

Hi We are using the QNAP Transporter to work with our Nakivo Backup Appliance. After upgrading our Appliance we can no longer connect to the QNAP Transporters and we get told that the Transporter is out of date. The latest version for Qnap is 10.5.

Thanks, this solved our problem.

Is 10.7.2 compatible with DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 2

Hello. Thanks for the answer but you're confused, this post/thread is about the FREE version of Nakivo on DSM 7 and not how to upgrade to the latest version.

As per the title really. I cannot figure out how to remove this item from the inventory. I have successfully removed the others, but this one is stuck. Be most grateful if someone could give me a heads up on how to kill this item. I don't mind getting into the cmd screens if that is required/easiest. Quite happy in a terminal. TIA

Any idea of the ETA of Nakivo for support of Esxi 8.0?

Thank you for your reply. I don't think this really has anything to do with it because of the following 1 - I have already removed every job and started with a clean sheet prior to posting the issue 2 - I also refreshed all the various pages and rebooted the machine from a fully turned off state, again prior to posting the original issue. But for the record, I tried this again. The Transporter hangs on refreshing at 40% and the Inventort error keeps coming back when I cancel it. I think I really need to get in at the cmd level and force kill/remove the invetory and transporter.

We just purchased some Wasabi storage and starting a Nakivo copy job to get some of our data up in the cloud. The copy is running extremely slow, averaging about 10-15Mbps. When I manually copy files into a Wasabi bucket (with another piece of software) I can get over 30MBps (240Mbps) easily, using the exact same hardware. I know that Nakivo will create some overhead in copying from a local repository into a cloud repository, but this amount (16 times slower) is unacceptable. Is there a way to configure Nakivo to run this any faster?

@Matt Thank you. Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me here too.

> Please clarify details on how you check the speed to Wasabi manually. Which software/commands do you use? I'm using Wasabi Explorer, running it on the same Windows machine that my Nakivo Transporter runs on. Wasabi Explorer also lets you increase the number of threads in use. I cranked it up awhile ago, and now I'm getting speeds around 150 MBps (1200 Mbps) while Nakivo limps along at 20 Mbps I'll likely need to set up a test job for steps 1-3. The backup that I'm trying to copy up to Wasabi now is 12TB, and I estimate it will take 8 more days to finish.

I have a similar issue/request. It would be great if there was a way to interact with AWS Glacier via Nakivo. I have a set of backups that are used for archival purposes, and I'm looking at storing them in Glacier. Nakivo looks like it won't do this, meaning I'll need to use another solution to manage these archives. Has anyone tried using Nakivo with the AWS Tape Gateway while storing the data in Glacier?

Great and helpful blog post. Thank you

Hello, @Michael.du Check the Deleted Items folder, if you can't find the needed emails in it, please see the Recoverable Items folder, it is hidden. If you want to recover emails from Outlook, don't forget to inspect the Trash folder. By the way, we have a great article on this topic, I think, this is what you need right now: https://www.nakivo.com/blog/how-to-recover-deleted-emails-office-365-guide Thank you for your post, please, let me know if any further assistance is needed.

Ok, what is ETA for 10.7?

@randomguy Thank you for your post, by the way here you can find a free webinar recording on the topic.

@Loki RodriguezYes, thank you for the update. You can find the information in my references list. Also, I recommend paying particular attention to the Network Acceleration feature, which is extremely useful in speeding up VM backup and replication jobs.

Okay. Thank You...

Hi, Is there any news on when Windows server 2022 will be supported for recovery please? Thanks Phil
