Add NAS shares in two steps. Druva automatically discovers NAS shares (nightly refresh). Quickly select a NAS share without waiting for discovery.
Cloud backup and archiving for on-premises and cloud NAS
The volume and density of unstructured data on NAS makes it difficult to balance the costs and requirements of backup, recovery, and retention. Data protection as-a-service works across on-premises and cloud to reduce complexity, improve search/recovery, and lower storage and archive costs by up to 50% percent.
Lower the TCO of long-term retention up to 50%
Direct-to-cold backup, storage tiering, and global deduplication provide a cost-efficient and resilient solution for long-term retention and compliance.
Efficiently protect NAS data on-premises or in the cloud
Snapshot integration, ML-based Smart Scan, and global, source dedupe drive backup, bandwidth, and storage efficiency across storage tiers.
Druva for NAS backup
Druva’s SaaS platform simplifies and lowers the cost of NAS data protection with deep analytics, global source deduplication and both auto-tiering and direct-to-cold storage archiving.

Ransomware protection and advanced recovery
- Ensures backup data cannot be encrypted with seamless data integrity
- Prevents deletion of data with zero-trust architecture and multi-level resiliency
- Enhances SecOps workflows with orchestrations and shared data intelligence
- Stops infected files from being recovered
- Automates creation of “golden snapshots” to accelerate recovery and reduce data loss
How it works
- Add NAS proxy to connect with on-premises or cloud data
- Add NAS device via Druva management console
- Specify a NAS device share to protect
- Create a backup policy
- Create a backup set with a policy and storage region
Quickly find the latest NAS proxy from the Druva console. Deploy to an on-premises or cloud VM. Securely activate your NAS proxy in a few easy steps.
Easily add NAS devices in one step. Map the NAS device to one or more proxies
Create flexible schedules and retention settings with default or custom settings. Improve performance with snapshot integrations, SmartScan, pre/post scripts.
Leverage a predefined backup policy or customize a new one. Assign an AWS storage region. Take advantage of predefined content rules or customize.
