NovaStor Rolls Out NovaBACKUP 13 Backup/Restore Software

NovaStor Software AG announces the availability of the new version of its NovaBACKUP software for protecting workstations, servers, and virtual machines running under Hyper-V and VMware.

NovaBACKUP’s set of features make it easy for users to backup and restore complete systems and individual files. Among the new benefits 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 Made Convenient
NovaBACKUP 13 simplifies life for those needing to restore their critical data and make it available at a moment’s notice. With the addition of a universal restore function, users achieve the capability for the restoration of a complete system to dissimilar hardware. Users benefit from a boot environment based on original Microsoft technology, Windows PE, for the restoration of a system. Instead of using supplied boot images based technologies that may not always be current, users start the restore of a complete system using the Win PE a platform which is continuously updated by Microsoft for the use of current hardware.
 
Backup and Restore
According to Personal Requirements
Version 13 provides 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.
 
Additionally, new 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 features for the development of 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.
