Introduction

Nakivo provides users with a multi-platform backup solution with a range of ransomware recovery features for multi-data loss scenarios, from individual file recovery to Full VM recovery.

 

This guide assumes that you already have a Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage account created with a Bucket and Credentials created.
