Unlike other popular backup solutions, which are Windows-based and can be installed on Windows only, Nakivo chose a different path. One of the many benefits of Nakivo Backup and Replication is multiplatform support. It is so rare these days for any program to be available on multiple platforms. You can install Nakivo on Microsoft Windows, Linux, you can deploy Nakivo as a VMware appliance, Nutanix AHV appliance, Synology NAS, QNAP NAS, Western Digital NAS, ASUSTOR NAS, NETGEAR ReadyNAS, Amazon Machine Image, Raspberry PI, FreeNAS, and even generic ARM-based device. Do you see what I mean? Besides, you can manage the program via the HTML5 WEB interface.
First download Linux Installation from the Nakivo website:
Connect to the Linux server. Before we can proceed with the installation, we have to install prerequisites:
If you are using an Ubuntu Linux, you can type the following command:
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils open-iscsi ntfs-3g
If you are using Red Hat or its derivatives like CentOS, you can use the following command:
sudo yum -y install cifs-utils iscsi-initiator-utils ntfs-3g
Once the tools are installed, you can now copy the installation file to the Linux server. You can use wget and copy the installation file from the computer share, or you can use FileZilla client to upload the installation file to the server.
First, we have to make the installer executable:
First, list the files, so that you will know the name of the installer. Then, type: chmod +x NAKI and press the TAB button on the keyboard. A correct Nakivo installer name will be automatically populated. Press enter. That will make the installer executable.
You can now run the installer to start the installation process:

After the installation, you can log in to the Nakivo Backup and Replication by going to the following path: https://name or IP of your computer:4443/ in my case it is the following address: https://192.168.1.115:4443
When you log in for the first time, you have to specify your username, email, and password. Once you enter the data, you can proceed with the backup configuration. The whole linux Installation procedure is very simple, as simple as other options. If you get stuck, you can follow official tutorial on the Nakivo website.
