Deployment

You can install NAKIVO Backup & Replication directly on a supported Western Digital NAS to create your own, high performance backup appliance. With the appliance, all VM data protection components are unified in a single system that is fast to deploy and easy to manage, while also not consuming the valuable resources of your environment. Moreover, you are getting an all-in-one backup hardware, backup software, backup storage, and data deduplication in a single box. This results in a zero VMware footprint, less power and cooling, less maintenance, time, money, and – most of all – higher VM backup performance.

IMPORTANT: NAKIVO Backup & Replication is installed on a NAS hard drive (not on the NAS Flash memory), so if you remove the hard drive from the NAS you will also remove the product from it.

Installing on Western Digital NAS Using a Windows-based Installer

Before you Install

Do the following before you begin installing NAKIVO Backup & Replication on a NAS:

  • Make sure that your NAS model and firmware are . 
  • Make sure you have downloaded a special Windows installer for NAS.
  • Open the NAS management interface, go to Settings > Network, and turn the SSH access on. You will need to provide a new password for the SSH access. (The default SSH user is "sshd".).

NOTE: When deployed on a NAS, NAKIVO Backup & Replication requires "parted 2.4" and "ntfs-3g 2015.3.14" 3rd-party packages to provide file and object recovery.

If the NAS device or the machine from which you perform installation are connected to the Internet, the packages will be automatically downloaded and installed. If the NAS device and the machine from which you perform installation are not connected to the Internet, you will need to download and install them manually.
