NovaStor NovaBACKUP V13 Software

At CeBIT 2012, NovaStor Software AG will present the new version 13 of its NovaBACKUP software for protecting workstations, servers, and virtual machines running under Hyper-V and VMware.

Set of features make it easy for users to backup and restore complete systems and individual files. Among the new benefits introduced with NovaBACKUP 13 is universal restore, access to individual files and folders within an image, as well as options which broaden backup flexibility to meet individual needs.

System Restore
NovaBACKUP 13 restores critical data. With the addition of a universal restore tool, users achieve the capability for restoration of a complete system to dissimilar hardware. Free of identical-hardware requirements, users maintain control over where and how their data-protection solution works for them.

Users of version 13 will benefit from Windows PE as a boot environment for the restoration of a system. Instead of having to use supplied boot images which may not always be current, users start the restore of a complete system with the WinPE a platform which is updated by Microsoft for the use of current hardware.

Backup and Restore According to Personal Requirements
Version 13 provides full, incremental and differential backup for file storage and imaging. After a full backup, incremental file backups or images help users update their backup data, keeping information current and conserving resources at the same time.
 
Furthermore, added imaging functionality creates visibility into the image file structure. Individual files and folders are easy to locate and recover. Users receive benefit from the ability to adapt their backup solution to match specific system properties and to ensure, for example; the reliable backup and restore of encrypted hard drives. NovaBACKUP 13 provides imaging methods for customized backup strategies.

All NovaBACKUP 13 installations on workstations, servers, and virtual environments include support of NovaStor’s technology for central monitoring and management with the central management console. Administrators are able to access the central management console while on-the-go or from remote locations via the internet.

Stefan Utzinger, CEO of NovaStor, said: "To provide users with the maximum flexibility in the backup and restoration of data, we have expanded the imaging functionality of NovaBACKUP.

NovaBACKUP prevails as an intuitive application that allows both small and medium-sized enterprises to secure their IT in-house."
