Nakivo Inventory & Transporter & Repository setup

How to configure Nakivo Transporter & Repository setup 

In the previous article, I already explained about transporter and repository (click here)
Login into your nakivo server with your server ip address with director port.
For example https://192.168.111.49:4443






In the inventory tab, you can select the backup type such as physical, virtual or cloud and so on. In my case, i want to demostrate how to backup microsoft hyper-v host or cluster. So i select Microsoft Hyper-v host or cluster option.

 
Fills up you display name, hyper-v server ip address, username and password.
Adding hyper-v hosts into inventory.

After adding hyper-v host to invertory and check virtual machines on your hyper-v host.

After that go to transporter tab and click next.

Go to Repositories tab and configure onboard repository and click finish.
Above steps show how to configure nakivo inventory, transporters and repositories step up.
in the next article, how to create backup job and backup hyper-v virtual machine.

Hope you enjoy for studying.

Enterprise Backup Solution With Nakivo Backup & Replication

Introduction to Enterprise Backup Solution 



Nakivo is a VMware/Hyper-V Backup & Replication solution which is capable of performing native, agentless, image-based VM backup and replication. Nakivo uses Changed Block Tracking (for VMware) or Resilient Change Tracking (for Hyper-V) to perform incremental backups and thus increase the VM backup speed.

Nakivo Backup and Replication Software အကြောင်းမပြောခင်မှာသူ့ရဲ့အစိတ်အပိုင်းအကြောင်းရှင်း
ပြပါရစေ။ nakivo backup နှင့် replication ကိုအသုံးမပြုမီ၎င်း Componentsကို သင်နားလည်ရမည်။


ပထမဦးစွာTransporterနှင့်အတူမိတ်ဆက်ပေးချင်တယ်။ Transporterကဘာလဲ?


Transporter သည် NAKIVO Backup & Replication အတွက်ဒေတာprotectionနှင့်Replicationလုပ်ငန်းများအားလုံးကိုလုပ်ဆောင်သည့် application တစ်ခုဖြစ်သည်။ ဒေတာများကိုreading, compression, deduplication, encryption, transfer, writing, verification and full VM recovery  ကိုလုပ်နိုင်တယ်
Transporter သည်အခြားapplicationများ၏performanceကို၀င်ရောက်စွက်ဖက်ခြင်းမပြုရန်သီးခြားသို့မဟုတ် virtual machine ပေါ်တွင်တပ်ဆင်သင့်သော server application တစ်ခုဖြစ်သည်။

Single Transporter တစ်ခုသည် vCenters (သို့) သီးခြား ESXi host များမှ VM အမျိုးမျိုးကို back up and replicate လုပ်နိုင်သည်။ တစ်နည်းပြောရလျှင်သင်backupလုပ်ချင်သော VMs သို့မဟုတ် ESXi host များ၌ Transporter ကိုတပ်ဆင်ရန်မလိုအပ်ပါ။ သင်၏Networkအတွင်းရှိစက်ခုတစ်ထဲတွင်Transporterကိုတပ်ဆင်နိုင်သည်။ ထိုနောက်သင်၏ hosts နှင့် backup repositories ကိုရယူနိုင်သည်။Transporter တစ်ခုသည်တစ်ပြိုင်နက်တည်း  VM disks (6)  ခုကိုdefaultအားဖြင့်လုပ်ဆောင်နိုင်သည် 

In the next article, I will demonstrate how to setup up and install Nakivo Backup & Replication Software on Linux Server and Window Server.
