Hello Russell! Could you please clarify in more details what do you mean by "central collection of Nakivo log files"? Thank you in advance!

The best way would be to generate and send a support bundle ( https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/NH/Support+Bundles ) to support@nakivo.com so our Technical Support team can investigate it and forward your feature request to our Product Development team for possible future implementation.

For now there is no possibility to have file level backup (this feature is under development currently). It is possible to backup separate drives of VM or physical machine.

You can download NAKIVO v9.3 Beta .apk for ASUSTOR NAS from our website https://www.nakivo.com/resources/download/beta/ Then go to Installer for NAS -> ASUSTOR package -> choose the package you need to download. Please check the screenshot below:

We cannot tell for sure why you're receiving those errors without investigation of the log files. So could you please generate a support bundle ( https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/NH/Support+Bundles ) with enabled option "Include Main Database" and send is to support@nakivo.com (or upload to https://upload.nakivo.com/ ) so our 2nd Level Support Team can take a look and provide you with a proper solution.

Like any other password VMware ESX Server root password can be lost or forgotten. Of course, it can cause problems with control over your hosts.

Asynchronous replication is a data storage backup technique where data is not immediately backed up during or immediately after the primary storage acknowledges write complete, but rather done over a period of time. This method results in a system with good performance and lesser bandwidth requirement, but the backups are not immediately available if something happens to the primary storage.

Hello! Currently, this function is not yet implemented in NAKIVO Backup&Replication. However, our Product Team is already working on this feature so it will be added in the next releases. Stay tuned in order not to miss our latest updates!

Hi, Michael, just as with physical servers, virtual machines (VM) require a large storage capacity to function properly. If your VM starts running low on disk space, the solution is to increase your computer’s storage capacity, which can be done by adding another internal or external hard drive. However, Hyper-V has made this process even easier and faster. To increase your storage capacity, you can increase disk size in Hyper-V in just a few clicks. In a nutshell, to successfully expand a Hyper-V virtual hard disk, you should do the following: Expand the virtual hard disk using the Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard Extend the volume size through launching the Disk Management utility inside the VM To learn more details, please, read our blog post: https://www.nakivo.com/blog/increase-disk-size-hyper-v-complete-guide Thank you for your question and have a great day!

@Bedders You're always welcome

Actually, that is possible for the "Incremental with Full backup" repository type. NOTE: It is impossible to change it after the repository creation.

With Microsoft Hyper-V gaining more market share and coming of age, VMware administrators are finding themselves having to administer Hyper-V alongside vSphere in their environments. There are certainly similarities in administering the various hypervisors, including VMware and Hyper-V, but there are also subtle (if not more major) differences as well. Often, out of habit, we apply what we know to things that we do not know, or that are new to us. While certain methodologies or best practices extend past the boundaries of VMware vSphere and apply to Hyper-V as well, there are differences in the administration and management of Hyper-V that VMware administrators will want to make note of and understand. These differences also can affect backup processes in the administration of Hyper-V vs. VMware. Let’s take a look at some of the key differences between Hyper-V and VMware, and how these can affect your backup methodologies: https://www.nakivo.com/blog/hyper-v-backup-guide-vmware-administrators

@randomguy Thanks for the useful information. Here you can find more facts about how tape backup software works: https://www.nakivo.com/blog/how-tape-backup-software-works-short-overview/

Hello, Eric. I think this blog post will help you: https://www.nakivo.com/blog/how-to-convert-linux-physical-server-to-vm-guide/ In this case, you can recover physical server to virtual environment and work with the recovered virtual machine (VM) until hardware of the physical machine is repaired.

During backup (it does not matter VM or physical) all data is divided for blocks and stored in the repository. In case some blocks appear to be similar, deduplication works and only one block is saved in the repository. It seems that in this case saved data from VMDK file and directly from VM disk has different layout (contains some additional service information or shift for example). In this case saved blocks are different and will not be deduplicated.

Hello! It could be that the bottleneck is not WAN connection speed. Please check the speed of read from source repository and speed of write to the target one. In case there is no cause, generate a new support bundle (https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/NH/Support+Bundles) and send it to us.

Hello! We suggest you run Self-healing and Verify all backups for source and target repository. After that, generate a new support bundle (https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/NH/Support+Bundles) and send it to us for further investigation.

Hello! We have checked the screenshot provided and would like to check the logs to investigate this further for you. Please open the ticket in NAKIVO support via standard channels and include support bundle: https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/NH/Support+Bundles
