Novosoft Gives Details on Next Handy Backup Server Update

Novosoft
LLC,
detailed their upcoming update to their online
backup
service

The list of changes
includes improved billing, authorization system, fast performance and
options for integrators and resellers. The service is planned for
launch in the beginning of 2013.

"Completing
the new Online Backup service will be a major milestone for us,"
said Alexander Rassokhin, product manager of Handy Backup. "It
is more than just another competitive feature that benefits our users
and partners: it is a demonstration of the technology that we’ve been
working on in the last two years. The service will be based on cloud
version of Handy Backup that will interchange data with your local
instance of Handy Backup, just the way it works in the Network Server
edition of the program."

This is the firm’s
enterprise solution that allows centralized backup of multiple
computers that have client software installed on them. Client
applications (Handy
Backup
Workstations)
can read data, compress and encrypt it, and send the data stream to
other workstations. Backup operations are performed with the use of
‘delta copying’ method: instead of overwriting files already backed
up, it computes differences and copies only modifications, saving
time and bandwidth.

"Most
storage and file sharing services don’t provide any optimization
techniques at all,"
said Rassokhin. "For
example, making daily backups of a commercial database will require
you to use terabytes of bandwidth each month. With our new service
you will be able to copy only changes, and greatly reduce the related
costs."

The technology is
not limited to their online backup service. The same scheme can be
employed by any online hosting service, which is one of the
partnership opportunities that the company plans to offer.

"We
will start rolling out some features of the new system in the next
week or two. Particularly, we have improved our billing system, user
cabinet, authorization engine, and other components. There also are a
number of new options for resellers, which will be announced shortly.
