Hyper-V Replication

Since applications and databases constantly process data in memory, simply copying the data stored on disk is not enough. NAKIVO Backup & Replication features an Application-Aware mode, which ensures that applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Active Directory, and Microsoft SQL flush data from memory to disk before a replica is made. This guarantees that replicas are application-consistent.

By default, all Hyper-V replication jobs are incremental, which means that only the initial replication creates a complete copy of a source Hyper-V VM. For every job thereafter, the product detects changed blocks of data (increments) and merges them with the VM replica, leaving the previous state of the Hyper-V VM as a new recovery point.
