What's new
Support for vSphere 6.7
The new version 7.5 introduces the full support for latest VMware vSphere 6.7 providing a complete protection also for virtual machines running on this platform version.
Advanced Bandwidth Throttling
By design, Nakivo tries to take the maxium available bandwidth to perform backup jobs. If the business requires to run backup jobs also during business hours without collapsing the network, the Advanced Bandwidth Throttling feature (Bandwidth Throttling was introduced in version 7.4) allows to control the amount of bandwidth used by the backup processes. This feature provides different customization options to manage the bandwidth usage through dedicated rules (Global or Per job basis) based on specific requirements.
You can can create bandwidth rules accessing the Bandwidth throttling section from Settings > General.
Cross-Platform recovery

From the Dashboard, click Recover in the main menu and select Export backups to start the wizard.
After selecting the VM backup to process, in the Options section you have to specify the disk format to export by choosing between VMDK, VHD and VHDX.
